If being Christian means rejecting LGBTQ persons and supporting systemic racism, perhaps their Christian journey is over.</p><p>David Gushee offers a new way forward for disillusioned post-evangelicals by first analyzing what went wrong with U.S. white evangelicalism in areas such as evangelical identity, biblical interpretation, church life, sexuality, politics, and race. Gushee then proposes new ways of Christian believing, belonging, and behaving, helping post-evangelicals from where they are to a living relationship with Christ and an intellectually cogent and morally robust post-evangelical faith. <em>After Evangelicalism</em> shows that it is possible to follow Jesus out of evangelical Christianity, and more than that, it's necessary.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>After Evangelicalism</em>could very likely attract significant attention. There are many well-educated, fair-minded, and service-oriented white evangelicals who lack the shortsightedness, insensitivity, and intellectual shallowness Gushee decries. So his critique of their more flawed faith-compatriots rings sadly true. Perhaps his book will be a wake-up call for both.</p> <p>--<em>The New York Journal of Books</em></p><br><br><p>This is the kind of book that church people need to read together: in Sunday School classes, Zoom book clubs, and discipleship groups. It is personal, powerful, and pointed in all the right directions. --Dwight A. Moody, <em>The Meeting House</em></p>-- "The Meeting House"<br><br><p>What distinguishes <em>After Evangelicalism</em> from other critiques and gives the book great value is how Gushee comes to his criticisms.... He begins, in the mode of classical political theology, with Scripture and critically, its exegesis. The through-line of the book is methodology: how does one explore sacred texts for political and personal ethics today? ...Gushee's book is precisely, inspiringly political theology. --<em>Political Theology</em></p><br>
