Post-Evangelical

You believe in the God of the Bible-but you cringe when church leaders oversimplify, trivialize, and absolutize the faith. You're not alone. You're likely among an increasing number of post-evangelicals: Christians growing restless within the bounds of the evangelical orthodoxy they were raised in or trained in-especially its culturally-influenced precepts and mores-and thirsting for something deeper. Something that makes sense. Author Dave Tomlinson encountered these same issues in Great Britain as he approached the writing of The Post-Evangelical. He quickly discovered that many in the church are hungering for a safe place to express their questions, doubts, and insights without being branded "liberals" or-worse yet-"heretics." Far from skewering its subject, The Post-Evangelical actually endorses steps toward rather that away from the roots of evangelicalism-while stridently challenging its man-made rules and regulations that have, for all intents and purposes, become "gospel." A best-seller and paradigm-buster in the U.K. for several years, we now present the expanded and updated North American edition of The Post-Evangelical. It includes: - A forward by Dallas Willard and an updated introduction. - Sidebar commentary from Mark Galli, Timothy Keel, Doug Pagitt, Mike Yaconelli, and Holly Rankin Zaher. - A completely new chapter on the history of evangelicalism in the U.S. If you've wandered from the evangelical fold-publicly or privately-you're not necessarily a backslider. Spend some time with The Post-Evangelical and be encouraged.Tomlinson, Dave is the author of 'Post-Evangelical' with ISBN 9780310253853 and ISBN 0310253853.
