He highlights the battles evangelicals are fighting--and the weapons of their warfare--to demonstrate the disconnect from scripture: Contra the dictates of the New Testament, today's believers are struggling mightily against flesh and blood, eyes fixed on the here and now, desperate for a power that is frivolous and fleeting. Lingering at the intersection of real cultural displacement and perceived religious persecution, Alberta portrays a rapidly secularizing America that has come to distrust the evangelical church, and weaves together present-day narratives of individual pastors and their churches as they confront the twin challenges of lost status and diminished standing.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Tim Alberta</note> <subject> <topic>Evangelicalism</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Christianity and culture</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Christianity and politics</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Political sciences</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">270.8</classification> <classification authority="ddc">A333-T58</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780063226883,</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15267/17.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15267/17.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071447.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
