Straight to Jesus
"Erzen is sensitive, savvy, and provocative. Her mastery of historical sources, ethnographic technique, and accessible writing style are evident throughout. She illuminates aspects of conservative Christianity central to the 'culture wars,' deepening our understanding of the movement's internal struggles over sexuality, gender, and family issues. Erzen has written a wonderful book."--Diane Winston, author of Red-Hot and Righteous: The Urban Religion of the Salvation Army "Tanya Erzen's wonderful and timely book provides us with a compelling cultural history of the Christian right in the post-war period--from the cold war to family and sexual politics--as well as remarkable ethnographic insight into the dynamics of Exodus International. With compassion, humor, and insight, Erzen takes the reader through the ideological, organizational, and daily practices used in efforts to change people's theological and sexual orientations, from self-help to conversion testimony."--Faye Ginsburg, Professor of Anthropology, New York University, author of Contested Lives
God's Forever Family
The Jesus People were an unlikely combination of evangelical Christianity and the hippie counterculture. God's Forever Family is the first major examination of this phenomenon in over thirty years.
If the Devil Wrote a Bible
If the Devil wrote a bible, this book includes all his favorite subjects, sayings, and advice. Twenty-nine chapters plus his refutation of the Ten Commandments named the Ten Demonments and his own version of the Beatitudes called The Bebaditudes. What the Devil didn't count on was that the publisher would slip in responses by a typical Christian.
If Allah Wills
Philpott has studied Islamic theology and practice for fifteen years but maintains his own deep Christian faith. This book is for Christians to give to Muslim friends to consider aspects of Islam and compare them to Jesus of the Bible and to historical facts. An excellent resource for Christian evangelists and apologists.
The Jesus People Movement
Who would have imagined that the hippies, those long-haired, psychedelia-influenced youth of the 1960s, would have initiated a spiritual revolution that has transformed American Christianity? If you are unfamiliar with the 1960s, the counterculture, the hippie movement, and the Jesus People, then this book will transport you to that era and introduce you to the generation and the decade that turned American culture upside down. If you have read other books on the Jesus People, this account will take you by surprise. A refreshingly different narrative that unveils a storyline and characters not commonly known to have been associated with the movement, this book argues that the Jesus People, t...

No Sympathy for the Devil

When Hell Invades The Churches
When Hell Invades The Churches: An Expose of Redding Bethel and the New Apostolic Reformation reveals how the New Age has entered the church just as Dave Hunt warned in his seminal 1985 book, The Seduction of Christianity. Mr. Stunich has courageously exposed how New Age Temples like Bethel Church are masquerading as Christian churches and how a new breed of American entrepreneur, the pastorpreneur, is mixing business and faux Christianity in order to achieve great worldly success while leading millions of Christians dangerously astray and far from the narrow path that leads to salvation and into a new, experienced-based, contra-Scriptural religion masquerading as Christianity. Readers will ...
The Other Evangelicals
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear “evangelical”? For many, the answer is “white,” “patriarchal,” “conservative,” or “fundamentalist”—but as Isaac B. Sharp reveals, the “big tent” of evangelicalism has historically been much bigger than we’ve been led to believe. In The Other Evangelicals, Sharp brings to light the stories of those twentieth-century evangelicals who didn’t fit the mold, including Black, feminist, progressive, and gay Christians. Though the binary of fundamentalist evangelicals and modernist mainline Protestants is taken for granted today, Sharp demonstrates that fundamentalists and modernists battled over the title of “e...
