Evangelical Disenchantment

Nine Portraits Of Faith And Doubt

BY DAVID HEMPTON

Brief Description:
looks at evangelicalism through the lens of well-known folk who once evangelical, but who later repudiated it. Recounts the faith journeys of 9 artists, social reformers, and public intellectuals including such diverse figures as George Eliot, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Vincent van Gogh, and James Baldwin. Within their highly individual stories, Hempton finds not only clues to the development of these particular creative men and women but also myriad insights into the strengths and weaknesses of one of the fastest growing religious traditions in the modern world.
