Livestream Registration for Westar Conference 2025

Register for eight conference livestreaming events. See conference agenda for more details.

Idolatry is not about worshipping physical idols; idolatry is about worshipping false idols. It is about valuing above all what should be valued least of all. Idolatry is about worshipping money over justice, adoring power over responsibility, and praising lies despite the need for truth. Idolatry is human deception, and it is found in our collective cultural histories from biblical times to the present setting in America. Insight into idolatry and its abuse of power is important to understand because such insight, in biblical terms, is related to justice, and justice is an action that requires the truth.

Westar will address the challenging question of idolatry and power renewed and strengthened in contemporary American culture. Where idolatry reigns, lies and truth are indistinguishable. Westar biblical scholars and theologians will gather to discuss and expose the abusive use of power that substitutes tantalizing lies for liberating truth.
