Dear American Christian. This item is unavailable.Dear American Christian

Few would deny that the American Evangelical church is in a time of crisis; division, confusion, and distraction reign. The cause of the crisis, however, much less the way out of it, is rarely agreed upon. In this straightforward and easy-to-read book, Jesse Hamilton argues that the cause of the American Evangelical church's problems is part theological and part cultural--and uniquely American. The only solution is to return to a biblical understanding of several vital issues, including the gospel, the kingdom of God and its relation to earthly kingdoms, and the nature of biblical ministry. Only after real repentance and a return to following Jesus as it ought can the American Evangelical church hope to move forward in purity, unity, and real power.

Jesse Hamilton has more than twenty years of experience in Christian ministry, including more than seven years on the mission field in Asia. He holds an MA with distinction in systematic and philosophical theology from the University of Nottingham, where he studied under Simon Oliver, now Van Mildert Professor of Divinity at the University of Durham. He was enrolled in PhD studies in analytic philosophy of religion at the University of Aberdeen, writing his thesis on compatibilism and the problem of evil, before God led him to withdraw and refocus on ministry. He is the author of four books on practical theology and a collection of poetry. He is married to Ana, an award-winning classical pianist (anapalanciuc.com), and father to Lizzy, an aspiring theoretical physicist.
