Resumen del Editor

This audiobook is divided into three parts.

The first part "sclaffolding", attempts to sketch out the mechanicals of "evangelical desconstruction". It tries to explain the hows and whats behind the increasing numbers of post-evangelicals of the conservative, American variety.

The second part, "A Letter to a Friend" is the centerpiece of the audiobook, which is a personal, autobiographical account of my de- and re-construction experience.

The third part consists of appendices - reference material aimed at re-orienting those who are skeptical and those who aren't sure where to get next in re-building their intellectual and spiritual lives as Christians.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“This book is electric! Hübner goes about Deconstructing Evangelicalism with the skills available only to someone formerly embedded in the apologetics-oriented, take-no-prisoners, Calvinist-Piperian-Brownian conservative evangelical subculture. Brilliant. Learned. Passionate. Creative. Angry. Hopeful? Maybe. You must read it for yourself and find out. I will be studying this book for a long time to come.” (david gushee Past President, American Academy of Religion and Distinguished University Professor of Ethics, Mercer University)

“This book is special: at once incendiary and charming, you are invited into the world of Christian fundamentalism, in all of its glory and complexities and traumatic realities. This world is a crazy place, filled with all of the political zealotry, casual sex(ism), and apocalyptic young-earth creationism one could desire. Hübner’s story is a dynamic, sobering testament to that reality. From the depths of his days as an Internet apologist to his interdisciplinary career as a professor, we see the impact of religious fundamentalism on heart, mind, and body. For those who have walked through the valley of the shadow of fear, may you be filled with curiosity and joy at the sight of another theologian on the journey. From one sojourner to another, I am happy to commend to you the work of my colleague and dear friend.” (Nicholas Rudolph Quient, Associate Pastor, The First Baptist Church of Redlands Co-Host of the Sinnergists Podcast and author of The Perfection of Our Faithful Wills)

Excellent

An excellent, intellectually rigorous and honest look at the questions that many Christians are afraid to ask.
I found this to be a very helpful analysis and will undoubtedly become a useful conversation starter for those who are willing to venture out of the evangelical black and white box of stiff and unyielding doctrine.
