The Post-Evangelical: with new preface

Ground-breaking and hugely controversial on first publication in 1995, this classic text pre-empted the emerging church movement, questioning whether the certainties of evangelical orthodoxy could survive in a postmodern world.Following publication, virtually every Christian magazine and newspaper in Britain reviewed the book. It is still talked about and was cited as one of Dave Tomlinson’s three key volumes in a 5-page feature on the author in the March 2014 edition of Christianity.I was one of the original members of Holy Joe’s, and The Post-Evangelical is a great snapshot of what happened on the fringes of church in the UK in the 1990s. But 20 years on, it endures as a classic commentary on understanding why church fails to connect with people who define themselves as “spiritual but not religious”. Essential reading. — Maggi Dawn, Associate Professor of Theology and Literature, Yale Divinity School I warmly welcome this Classics edition – and look forward to where we are going next! — Richard Burridge, Dean of King’s College, London and Professor of Biblical Interpretation
