The Deconstruction of Christianity: What It Is, Why It’s Destructive, and How to Respond
Alisa Childers, Tim Barnett, Carl R. TruemanPaperback 2024-01-30
A groundbreaking book on the true nature of faith deconstruction.
Alisa and Tim help the reader to deconstruct the deconstructionists and thus to respond to them, both with arguments and with love and sensitivity. This is a timely book – Carl Trueman, author of The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self
"Deconstruction" is a movement sweeping through today's church, causing some traditional Christian beliefs to be labelled "toxic" and triggering confusion and consternation across generations. In this eye-opening book, Childers and Barnett help readers understand what deconstruction is, where it comes from, why it's compelling to some, how it disorients lives, and ways to lovingly respond.
Maybe you have a loved one who is deconstructing their faith, and you are struggling to know how to respond; Maybe you are trying to understand the radical spiritual makeover your friend or family member is going through; Maybe your relationship with a loved one has been strained or even cut off because of your "toxic" Christian beliefs and you don't know what to do; Maybe you're experiencing doubt yourself and facing hard questions about truth, God, the Bible, theology and the gospel. Some who leave the faith feel wounded by the church. Others feel repressed by some of the moral imperatives found in Scripture. For some, it leads to a custom-made spirituality. For others, deconstructing their faith leads them away from the truth into agnosticism, atheism, the occult, or humanism.
In this seminal book, Alisa Childers, author of Another Gospel?, and Tim Barnett, creator of Red Pen Logic, will help you understand what deconstruction is, where it comes from, why it is compelling to some, and how it disorients the lives of so many. You will be able to think through the main issues around faith deconstruction and explore wise and loving ways to respond from a biblical worldview.
