“What follows is essentially a brief assessment of each of these books—a kind of “lay of the land” when it comes to contemporary writing on conspiracy theory. The majority of them are written from the perspective of secular classic liberalism….the Christian market could use a really good book on the subject” - Challies

I don’t know if these books touch on the subject, but modern conspiracy theories (e.g. 9/11; Moon photos; Nasa, etc.) do have a lot of circumstantial and, sometimes, empirical evidence to back them up. How they “spin” the data is another thing.
While I don’t recommend going deep down the rabbit-hole, I do think some of “conspiracy theorists” deserve a hearing. To me it is simply because Satan is so active in our world and contemporary Christianity (I’m excluding charismatics here) has a shallow and sanitized outlook on the world that ignores the supernatural and the propensities of (especially) rich sinners.
