Resumen del Editor

Uncover the ways the Christian church has changed in recent years—from the decline of the mainline denominations to the mega-churchification of American culture—and a hopeful reimagining of what the church might look like going forward.

The United States is in the middle of an unprecedented spiritual, technological, demographic, political and social transformation—moving from an older, mostly white, mostly Protestant, religion-friendly society to a younger diverse, multiethnic, pluralistic culture, where no one faith group will have the advantage. At the same time, millions of Americans are abandoning organized religion altogether in favor of disorganized disbelief.

Reorganized Religion is an in-depth and critical look at why people are leaving American churches and what we lose as a society as it continues. But it also accepts the dismantling of what has come before and try to help readers reinvent the path forward. This book looks at the future of organized religion in America and outline the options facing churches and other faith groups. Will they retreat? Will they become irrelevant? Or will they find a new path forward?

Written by veteran religion reporter Bob Smietana, Reorganized Religion is a journalistic look at the state of the American church and its future. It draws on polling data, interviews with experts, and reporting on how faith communities old and new are coping with the changing religious landscape, along with personal stories about how faith is lived in everyday life. It also profiles faith communities and leaders who are finding interesting ways to reimagine what church might look like in the future and discuss various ways we can reinvent this organization so it survives and thrives. The book also reflects the hope that perhaps people of faith can learn to become, if not friends with the larger culture, then at least better neighbors.

“A superb examination of the future of Christian institutions…. A must-read for anyone invested in the fate of the American church.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Hard hitting honesty coupled with hopeful optimism

Fascinating look at religion in America, exploring both the issues facing organized religion as a whole, as well as impact of these issues on life in local congregations. The author is honest about the challenges while expressing optimism that things can change. Highly recommend this selection.

Great insight and perspective

This book provides a balanced and well informed perspective on church culture today. I appreciated that the author talked about many of the challenges facing the church today as well as offering thoughts on what will need to change in order for our churches to change, grow and, most of all, to love others well.

Interesting

I feel as if he does a great job presenting the facts and even how churches should try to grow but he frequently appears to let his own bias on doctrine influence his ideas.
