This isn’t new: Evangelicals have felt slighted and misrepresented for a century. But in the current political era, a cottage industry consisting of podcasts, essays, and dozens of books has arisen―all dedicated to criticizing evangelicalism. The question is not whether evangelicalism has faults but whether the accusations are fair, coherent, and a path to destruction or reform.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on research, original reporting, and a lifetime in the evangelical movement, author and deputy editor at \u003ci\u003eChristianity Today \u003c\/i\u003eBonnie Kristian addresses five serious criticisms of evangelicalism, offering a deeply informed and theologically sound defense. Kristian engages with the work of influential critics of evangelicalism―including Kristin Kobes DuMez, Beth Allison Barr, and Tim Alberta―as well as interviews with theologians, pastors, and thought leaders, to deftly dismantle bad-faith critiques while acknowledging where reform is necessary and desirable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn Defense of Evangelicalism\u003c\/i\u003e demystifies and humanizes evangelicals, demonstrating irrefutably that evangelicals are not the menace they’ve been made out to be. In fact, Kristian maintains, the evangelical movement is a force for good that every American should want to preserve.","brand":"Forum Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933597745407,"sku":"9798217153176","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9798217153176_s600x595.jpg?v=1780932262","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9798217153176","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
