He's been called the most widely read cartoonist of all time. But also, the most popular theologian, too. Yet his legacy is truly shocking and controversial. When he died in 2016, many Evangelical Christians mourned the loss of a great Christian leader. Others held online parties to say good riddance to who they said was a homophobic, racist and unloving man.
His little palm sized religious comics (known as Chick Tracts) are still used today. People find them scattered in public places, or slipped between the covers of library books...they speak of a frightening world of corruption and hellfire.
Join me for this episode of 'Our Curious Past' as we explore the work and life story of this divisive artist whose conspiracy theories still influence people (and politics) today.
I'm Peter Laws, and this is 'The Frightening Christian World of Jack Chick, and his 'Chick Tracts.'
