In this seminal work on the declining vocabulary of faith in
America, one of this generation's most prolific and respected
religion writers breathes new life into ancient expressions and
helps readers communicate their beliefs in fresh ways. When
religion writer Jonathan Merritt moved from the Bible Belt to New
York City, he ran into an unexpected language barrier. Whenever
conversations turned to faith, his words became stilted. Words,
both ancient and modern, that Jonathan had used for decades to
describe matters of the soul no longer translated to those he
encountered. In an America rapidly transitioning to a secular, more
pluralistic society, many modern believers struggle to talk about
faith and their relationships with God, when understanding of terms
like "grace" or "gospel" can no longer be assumed. Some words, like
"sin" and "hell," have become so negative they are nearly
conversation-enders. The desire to express faith more clearly sends
Jonathan on a quest to excavate anew some of the most meaningful
words in a believer's dictionary.

From deep inside the Religious Right and places of
privilege--including a meeting with Billy Graham in the
evangelist's home--emerges a young theologian who is surprisingly
willing to confront today's difficult intersections of faith and
society with fresh perspective. In the tradition of classic writers
on lived faith like C.S. Lewis and contemporary ones like Timothy
Keller, Merritt shares glimpses of his own defining faith
experiences and then drills down to essential truths, always
buffeted by Scripture and the example of Jesus. His winsome
reflections show how the next generations of Christians are mapping
a better way forward on such previously divisive issues as
abortion, gay marriage, environmental use and care, race, war,
poverty and imbalance of world wealth. With a mature respect for
the traditions in which he was nurtured, he neither repudiates nor
justifies the mistakes of his forebears, but offers them as
warnings for his own generation. He urges today's Christians to
throw off partisanship and the pursuit of power to embrace
practical, hands-dirty followership Jesus and the biblical call to
difficult love. Statistics show that young Christians are
disenchanted with a faith that has become culturally antagonistic
and too closely aligned with partisan politics. Merritt takes a
close self-revelatory look at the changing religious and political
environment of a new generation of Christian. The result is a book
that articulates the Christian faith that is now just coming of
age.
