The Evangelical Imagination: How Stories, Images, and Metaphors Created a Culture in Crisis

For this month's Book Club we are reading The Evangelical Imagination by Karen Swallow Prior 

 Discussion night will be June 25th@7:30pm 

Contemporary American evangelicalism is suffering from an identity crisis--and a lot of bad press.

In The Evangelical Imagination, acclaimed author Karen Swallow Prior analyzes the literature, art, and popular culture that has surrounded evangelicalism and unpacks some of the movement's most deeply held concepts, ideas, values, and practices.

She shows that understanding what the term "evangelical" means today means understanding not only evangelicalism's faith commitments but also the images, metaphors, assumptions, and stories that have cultivated evangelical culture.

Brought to life with color illustrations and paintings, this book explores ideas including

● conversion

● domesticity

● empire

● sentimentality

● and more
