So you have a problem with evangelical Christians? Which ones?
These are the provocative questions Tom Krattenmaker poses to his
fellow progressives in The Evangelicals You Don't Know. He
challenges stereotypes about evangelical Christians and introduces
readers to a movement of "new evangelicals" who are bringing forth
a non-partisan expression of evangelicalism and creating
opportunities for alliances and partnerships to advance the common
good. Krattenmaker argues that cultural fault lines no longer
divide the religious from the secular, or the evangelicals from
"everyone else." Rather, the lines that matter now run between the
fundamentalist culture warriors of both the left and right on one
side, and, on the other, the good-doers of any faith, or none, who
want to work together to solve our society's problems and introduce
a new civility and decency to our shared national life.
Krattenmaker is one of the best-informed non-evangelicals writing
about evangelicalism in American public life. He offers interesting
stories, intriguing character sketches, and incisive writing in his
readable and engaging book. Recounting the findings and insights
gleaned from his many years of engagement with evangelical America,
he draws conclusions sure to surprise, challenge, and even inspire
non-evangelicals who had written off this controversial and
influential faith movement. The Evangelicals You Don't Know offers
a refreshing alternative to narratives that pay attention only to
aspects of evangelicalism that are most distasteful and threatening
to secular-progressives and liberal religionists - providing
instead a hopeful introduction to promising new currents rising
among theologically conservative Christians.
