Popular doesn't mean sound.
Christian publishing, podcasting, and film are large, profitable industries — not seminaries. The most-sold title is not the most carefully vetted one.
100%
objective rubric
Consistent rubric, not personal opinion
Every title is scored against the same theological axes — Reformed, Arminian, Charismatic, and every tradition within orthodoxy gets a fair assessment.

scoring axes
Score what matters, not just content
Content flags are just part of it. TheoScope also scores worldview, theological claims, and moral framework — the things content warnings miss.

improving
Community-refined over time
Scores are a starting point. Community reviews from verified readers refine scores over time — the more reviews a title has, the more they shape the final score.
How it works
Three steps from question to answer
Search anything
Find any Christian book, podcast, or movie. If it's not in our database, submit it and we'll analyze it.
Get the score
A consistent theological rubric applied to every title — the same axes across every book, podcast, and movie, with no favoritism to platform or publisher.
Choose wisely
Read the reasoning, check content flags, see audience suitability — then read, listen, watch, or skip with full information.
Built for the whole church
For parents, pastors, ministry leaders, and anyone who reads or listens with purpose.
