Overview

Over the past few years, Evangelicalism has been marked by a deconstructionist movement in which many, especially younger Evangelicals, have been leaving the Evangelical tradition. Some have left the Christian faith altogether due to what they perceive to be deep inconsistencies, inadequacies, and hypocrisies. But is deconstruction the right response to these problems, or is there a better way? Rather than tearing down the structures and institutions they inhabit, Evangelicals can, trusting in the promise that Christ will build his church, commit themselves to the project of reconstruction. With every challenge comes an opportunity to press deep below the surface, assess weak foundations, and build stronger, healthier Evangelicalisms than those inherited. Reconstructing Evangelicalism explores these very challenges and opportunities to aid the church in the rebuilding project necessary in the present age.
