Publisher's Description
Evangelical or "born-again" Christians have come under intense criticism in recent years, largely given the high percentage of Evangelicals who voted for President Donald Trump. Many see support for Trump's policies and political agenda as inconsistent with Christianity. Yet, the heightened attention given to Evangelicals hasn't necessarily raised awareness of what they believe, or of how being born-again transforms them, or how it has shaped their worldviews. This book answers these questions by exploring the counterintuitive Evangelical belief system that outsiders may find alarming, including the beliefs that being born-again is a supernatural event; that Evangelicals find favor with God apart from their behavior; that the Bible is inspired by God and inerrant; and that only born-again Christians can please God. In addition, the book examines why Evangelicals strongly oppose multiculturalism and why living in a democratic republic often requires Evangelicals to vote for laws that appear contrary to their duties as Christians. This book will help both non-Evangelicals and Evangelicals to better understand the born-again experience and its effects.

“Born-again Evangelicals are terribly, and often intentionally, misunderstood. Caricatures abound! If you want to free yourself of uninformed falsehoods and learn what these folks actually believe about faith and life, insider David Brenner has created a concise, incisive explanation for all curious people. His insights are so spot on and succinct, this book could be used by evangelical pastors to teach their congregations what real practical evangelical faith looks like.”
