An inside look at the young, diverse, and progressive Christians who are transforming the evangelical movementDeborah Jian Lee left the evangelical world because she was frustrated by its conservative politics. But over the years, she noticed how evangelical culture and politics were changing\u2014and moving in a more progressive direction. What Lee came to find is that most of what we think we know about evangelicals is wrong, or is well on its way to becoming dated.In Rescuing Jesus, she ventures into the world of progressive evangelicalism, telling the stories of those at the forefront of a movement that could change the face and the substance of religion in the United States. These men and women are a young and diverse array of people\u2014LGBTQ and straight; white, black, Asian, Hispanic, and indigenous\u2014who are working to wrest political power away from conservatives. These young evangelicals are more likely than their elders to accept same-sex marriage, more inclined to think of \u201cpro-life\u201d issues as being about supporting society\u2019s disenfranchised, and more accepting of equality between men and women.With empathy, journalistic rigor, and powerful storytelling, Lee unpacks the diverse and complex strands of this movement\u2014and what it means for the rest of us. Given the clout that evangelicals still hold in national politics, Lee argues, this movement is important not only for the future of evangelicalism but also for the future of our country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
