There are signs all around us charges John Stackhouse, that evangelicals are in a state of ’spiritual adolescence.’ In Evangelical Landscapes, he urges believers to develop a more sophisticated approach to worship as well as a more deeply felt sense of what it is to be a Christian.

Evangelical Landscapes explores the past and the present state of the evangelical movement in North America. It is intended to inform, inspire, and perhaps even lead to necessary change. Provocative chapters discuss the parachurch movement, ambivalence toward the Bible, money and theology, and whether evangelicals face an era of spiritual illiteracy and superstition.

Readers interested in the future of the evangelical movement will be challenged by this perceptive and engaging book.
