The Heart of Apostasy: How The Black Church Abandoned Biblical Authority For Political Ideology--And How To Reclaim It
For decades, the Black Church has stood as a beacon of faith, resilience, and moral courage. But beneath the surface of spiritual fervor lies a growing crisis—a theological drift that has exchanged biblical authority for cultural and political conformity. In The Heart of Apostasy, Dr. Eric Wallace confronts this dangerous shift head-on, exposing how progressive ideologies like identity politics, critical race theory, and cultural Marxism have infiltrated the pulpits and pews of the Black Church, leading it away from its prophetic calling.
Drawing deeply from the Parable of the Sower in Luke 8, Dr. Wallace diagnoses the spiritual condition of a Church divided by disillusionment, distraction, and ideological compromise. With keen biblical insight and cultural analysis, he traces how the seeds of apostasy have been sown—not by external oppression—but by an internal abandonment of Scripture as the ultimate authority.
This book is not merely a critique—it's a call to repentance and renewal. Dr. Wallace challenges pastors, lay leaders, and believers to reclaim a Kingdom-centered worldview, where allegiance to Christ takes precedence over racial solidarity and partisan politics. He offers a clear path forward, grounded in the R.I.S.E. Principles—Responsible Government, Individual Liberty and Fidelity, Strong Family Values, and Economic Empowerment—a biblical framework for cultural engagement that does not compromise the Gospel.
The Heart of Apostasy is a prophetic wake-up call for a Church at a crossroads. Will we continue down the path of ideological captivity, or will we return to the Good Soil of a heart wholly devoted to Christ and His Word?
