Announcement on My Next Book: Progressive Christians Love Jesus Too

April 6, 2022 by Randal

Last year, I read a really bad book: Alisa Childers’ Another Gospel? is an ignorant polemical screed that attacks several Christian thought leaders by name, insisting that these individuals (people like Peter Enns, Brian Zahnd, Rachel Held Evans, Richard Rohr, and so on) are not Christians at all but rather wolves out to destroy God’s church.

Sadly, Childers’ nasty polemic has been embraced by conservative evangelical Christians. And so, at the beginning of March, I decided to write a book-length response rebutting Childers’ claims. I spent the last month writing the book and I am now in the final editing stage just prior to typesetting. I hope to have it out for sale in about 6 weeks. Here is the title and chapter list.
