Tim Alberta - The Kingdom, the Power and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism

In his second book, "The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism," Tim Alberta delves into the complex intersection of faith, politics, and culture within the American evangelical movement. Drawing from personal experiences and investigative reporting, Alberta explores how the evangelical community has become entangled in partisan politics and cultural warfare, straying from the core teachings of Christ. He highlights the pervasive influence of "politicos" and "culture war profiteers" who have manipulated many believers into equating their faith with political ideology and animosity towards perceived enemies. Alberta argues that this distortion of Christian identity has led to a profound fracture within evangelical churches and denominations, as believers grapple with the tension between cultural indoctrination and the teachings of Jesus. He emphasizes the urgent need for introspection and reform within the evangelical community, urging believers to rediscover the essence of their faith and reclaim their credibility in the eyes of the broader society. Alberta sees this moment as a critical opportunity for the church to address its internal divisions and realign its mission with the teachings of Christ, thereby offering a more authentic and compelling witness to the world.
