Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda is a 2024 book by Megan Basham, published by HarperCollins.

In it Basham argues that evangelical leaders (especially in the Southern Baptist Convention) have been promoting left-wing views on issues such as climate change, illegal immigration, abortion, COVID-19, critical race theory, and the #MeToo movement.

J. D. Greear, for example, wrote that the book's reporting "is neither careful nor charitable, and in many places, demonstrably untrue, as even the simplest of internet searches reveals.

"[4] Warren Cole Smith, writing for The Dispatch, suggested that the book was not journalism but propaganda,[1] while Rick Pidcock of Baptist News Global said that Basham "resorts to lies and conspiracy theories to make her case.

Smith argued that Shepherds for Sale "purports to fight for the Gospel against heretics, but Basham is waging a proxy war, defending Trump against his evangelical critics.
