I just finished reading unChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity … and Why it Matters, by David Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons.
Dan Kimball writes in the Afterword of unChristian, that he has “great optimism about the reputation of Christianity in the future.” Dan Kimball wrote, They Like Jesus but not the Church, which was published six months prior to unChristian. Kinnaman and Lyons back up with statistics what Kimball discovered in conversations across the country. I also noticed another book out on this subject, I’m Fine with God…It’s Christians I Can’t Stand, by Bruce Bickel and Stan Jantz, published in January of 2008 – just months after unChristian. According to these authors, Church, Christianity, and Christians have an image problem.
