Description

America’s Founding Fathers often said that a “higher power” was superintending their work. The motto, “In God We Trust,” has appeared on American coinage since 1956. So a casual observer might think that the United States is a very pious country, but Patrick Nachtigall observes that most Americans actually have three “gods”: Religious Freedom, Radical Individualism, and Materialism.
Even evangelical Christians hold these things to be sacred, which has led them into moral compromise and strikingly unbiblical behavior. What lies ahead for American Evangelicalism-and for America as a whole? A young Christian leader offers a provocative perspective.
"In God We Trust?" challenges American Evangelicals to reexamine what they believe and practice, and calls for a life of radical faith in the years ahead.
