A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION
What this book explores
A theologian’s memoir of institutional conflict, changing convictions, and remaining Christian after evangelical estrangement.
EDITORIAL NOTE
Why it’s in the Library
It makes visible the personal and professional cost of theological change from inside a public Christian life. The memoir offers companionship for remaining, relocating, or simply understanding why institutional belonging can become untenable.
Good starting place if…
Changing convictions have cost you trust, status, or belonging in an evangelical setting, but leaving Christianity altogether is not the only story you want to hear.
Know before you begin…
Gushee narrates his own path through American evangelical institutions and public ethical disputes. His retrospective account is situated testimony, not a neutral history of evangelicalism or a route every estranged Christian can follow.
