Powerful book that helps explain why and how Christianity is the way it is today.
Not much theology but a good historical book that lays out the path to where evangelicals are now.
As a recently former Evangelical, this explains a whole lot of things that have bothered me for a long time. I kept hoping I could make a difference and make people really listen to the words of Jesus. But every time my family and I tried, we became ‘dangerous' and were bullied out of the church. I thought it was just churches where we live, but I see it is much larger than that. This book was so hard to listen to. I couldn't have finished it if I was reading it. I feel really lucky that I have only been given the cold shoulder a few times by churches because as I see in this book, it could have been so much worse. Sad and scary, but also it affirms my decision to become an ex-evangelical Christian.
This book is so helpful - to understand my own upbringing and how the political landscape has become what it is today. This was also hard to read as someone influenced and brought up in said movement and now sees it for what it was / is.
