The Evangelical Imagination: How Stories, Images, and Metaphors Created a Culture in Crisis (audio)
Digital
Overview
In this book, acclaimed author Karen Swallow Prior examines evangelical history, both good and bad. By analyzing the literature, art, and popular culture that has surrounded evangelicalism, she unpacks some of the movement’s most deeply held concepts, ideas, values, and practices to consider what is Christian rather than merely cultural. The result is a clearer path forward for evangelicals amid their current identity crisis-and insight for others who want a deeper understanding of what the term “evangelical” means today.
