Irreconcilable differences drive the division between progressive
and conservative Christians-is there a divorce coming? Much
attention has been paid to political polarization in America, but
far less to the growing schism between progressive and conservative
Christians. In this groundbreaking new book, George Yancey and
Ashlee Quosigk offer the provocative contention that progressive
and conservative Christianities have diverged so much in their core
values that they ought to be thought of as two separate religions.
The authors draw on both quantitative data and interviews to
uncover how progressive and conservative Christians determine with
whom they align themselves religiously, and how they distinguish
themselves from each other. They find that progressive Christians
emphasize political agreement relating to social justice issues as
they determine who is part of their in-group, and focus less on
theological agreement. Among conservative Christians, on the other
hand, the major concern is whether one agrees with them on core
theological points. Progressive and conservative Christians thus
use entirely different factors in determining their social identity
and moral values. In a time when religion and politics have never
seemed so intertwined, One Faith No Longer offers a timely and
compelling reframing of an age-old conflict.
