Named one of the Top 10 Books of the Year in 2020 by the Academy of
Parish Clergy "Drawing on his own spiritual journey, David Gushee
provides an incisive critique of American evangelicalism [and]
offers a succinct yet deeply informed guide for post-evangelicals
seeking to pursue Christ-honoring lives." —Kristin Kobes Du Mez,
Calvin University Millions are getting lost in the evangelical
maze: inerrancy, indifference to the environment, deterministic
Calvinism, purity culture, racism, LGBTQ discrimination, male
dominance, and Christian nationalism. They are now conscientious
objectors, deconstructionists, perhaps even "none and done." As one
of America's leading academics speaking to the issues of religion
today, David Gushee offers a clear assessment and a new way forward
for disillusioned post-evangelicals. Gushee starts by analyzing
what went wrong with U.S. white evangelicalism in areas such as
evangelical history and identity, biblicism, uncredible theologies,
and the fundamentalist understandings of race, politics, and
sexuality. Along the way, he proposes new ways of Christian
believing and of listening to God and Jesus today. He helps
post-evangelicals know how to belong and behave, going from where
they are to a living relationship with Christ and an intellectually
cogent and morally robust post-evangelical faith. He shows that
they can have a principled way of understanding Scripture, a
community of Christ's people, a healthy politics, and can repent
and learn to listen to people on the margins. With a foreword from
Brian McLaren, who says, “David Gushee is right: there is indeed
life after evangelicalism,” this book offers an essential
handbook for those looking for answers and affirmation of their
journey into a future that is post-evangelical but still centered
on Jesus. If you, too, are struggling, After Evangelicalism shows
that it is possible to cut loose from evangelical Christianity and,
more than that, it is necessary.
