Book Reviews of unChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity... and Why It Matters

Book Review: I had very mixed feelings on this book...
Summary: 3 Stars

On one hand, I think it is fabulously important that all Christians are aware of the issues presented in this book and how deeply true most of the concerns are. On the other hand, the book is very, very satistical in its approach to the subject as the author is a researcher. Analyzing surveys can only be interesting for so long. Furthermore, the author is still VERY biased in his opinions of what he believes to be right and wrong and applies it to all of Christianity like his answers are right and others are wrong. Even though I agree with him more than many Chrisitians, I still take issue with him implying his opinions and interpretations are facts instead of simply conjecture. I also take strong issue with the fact that he lists Mormons as a group that is outside of Christianity. While I believe they are some of the most persecuted of Christians, it does not alter the fact that Mormons are Christians. With all these issues, though, I think it is an important book for the more conservative-minded Christians as it points out how their thoughts, words, and actions alienate people from Christianity rather than make people want to embrace it.
