After Evangelicalism
The Path to a New Christianity
Foreword by Brian D. McClaren
David P. Gushee
$19.00 $11.40 when you use promo code CENTURY40
Christian ethicist David Gushee (Still Christian) offers a new way forward for disillusioned post-evangelicals by analyzing what went wrong with U.S. white evangelicalism in areas such as evangelical identity, biblical interpretation, church life, sexuality, politics, and race. Gushee proposes a new framework of Christian humanism, helping post-evangelicals from where they are to a morally robust post-evangelical faith.
