When faith is used as a weapon, the only faithful response is resistance.
LET THERE BE LIGHT: The Quest for Truth
Book One of FAITHFUL RESISTANCE: Seeking the Way of Jesus Together
Something has gone wrong with American Christianity.
Many people who once found comfort in the Church now find themselves heartbroken by what it has become. The rise of Christian nationalism has left countless believers—and former believers—wondering how the message of love, mercy, and humility became entangled with power, fear, and exclusion.
In Let There Be Light: The Quest for Truth, Angela M. Becek invites Christians to reclaim their faith from the grip of nationalism and biblicism as she explores the opening chapters of Genesis while blending history, theology, and personal reflection. Together, you’ll learn how biblicism and ideology have distorted the Gospel—and discover how critical, courageous engagement with Scripture can lead us back to love, peace, and purpose.
Whether you’re still in the pews, standing at the margins, or unsure what you believe anymore, Let There Be Light welcomes you into a thoughtful conversation about truth, hope, and what it really means to walk in the way of Jesus.
Written in devotional format, Let There Be Light divides the first 11 chapters of Genesis into 28 readings with thought-provoking commentary to inspire conversation in books clubs and among friends.
Let There Be Light explores how these stories have been weaponized by some Christians to gain power over others, while inviting readers to consider alternative ways of interpreting very old traditions.
