Summary:
In a twenty-year span starting in the mid-nineties, research shows that favorable opinions of Christianity have plummeted drastically. Yancey explores what may have contributed to hostility toward Evangelicals, especially in their mixing of faith and politics instead of embracing more grace-filled ways of presenting the gospel. Then he explores why Christian faith matters and what could reignite its appeal to future generations.
