Which shepherds are for sale? Megan Basham’s new book about evangelicalism is really about Donald Trump.
“Basham is right that many ‘shepherds’ are, in fact, ‘for sale.’ But the unintended irony… of her book is that the corrupting money is not on the evangelical left, as she claims, but on the populist right.” - The Dispatch

The Dispatch article mentions that Christianity Today now prohibits political donations from its editors. I am disappointed in that. I do not think I have made a political donation in decades unless there was a small local one I made and forgot about. Still, I believe that a person has a right to make such donations and if someone is so intent on the political process that they think their money is needed to "save the country" I want to know where they are putting the money. In other words, I like to know the political biases of the people I am reading. I do not want an illusion of neutrality when there is no neutrality. Banning the donations just gives an illusion instead of full disclosure.
