Description: American evangelical Christianity has lost its way. While the witness of the church before a watching world is diminished beyond recognition congregations are torn apart over Donald Trump Christian nationalism racial injustice sexual predation disgraced leaders and covered - up scandals. Left behind are millions of believers who counted on the church to be a place of belonging and hope. As greater and greater numbers of younger Americans bleed out from the church even the most rooted evangelicals are wondering Can American Christianity survive? In Losing Our Religion Russell Moore calls his fellow evangelical Christians to conversion over culture wars to truth over tribalism to the gospel over politics to integrity over influence and to renewal over nostalgia. With both prophetic honesty and pastoral love Moore offers a word of counsel for how a new generation of disillusioned and exhausted believers can find a path forward after the crisis and confusion of the last several years. Believing the gospel is too important to leave it to hucksters and grifters he shows how a Christian can avoid both cynicism and complicity in order to imagine a different hopeful vision for the church. The altar call of the old evangelical revivals was both a call to repentance and the offer of a new start. In the same way this book invites unmoored and discouraged Christians to step out into an uncertain future first by letting go of the kind of cultural politicized status quo Christianity that led us to this moment of reckoning. Only when we see how lost we are we can find our way again. Only when we bury what's dead can we experience life again. Only when we lose our religion can we be amazed by grace again.
