Michael Cuevas's Reviews > Losing Our Religion: An Altar Call for Evangelical America

Though Russell Moore and I come to different theological conclusions in many areas, this book continued to surprise and encourage me in its offering of a much needed, critical analysis of the current state of the American evangelical church.

Some notable quotes:

"Watch though, when culture wars are defined as spiritual warfare, with human beings as demons to oppose. That's precisely what can happen when tribalism connects with resentment and resentment connects with fear ... usually, of course, people don't literally mean their political or cultural opponents are supernatural evil spirits, but metaphors matter. Think of what happened throughout history when the metaphors of rats or insects or animals are applied to human beings."

on radical reformation vs revival: "What if the current tumult around us at this current moment is not the evangelical movement imploding? What if it is, instead, God tearing the evangelical movement down? If so, perhaps we should ask 'why?' before we ask 'what's next?'"
