nuChristian: Finding Faith in a New Generation

It has been said that Christianity has an image problem among those who were born in the late twentieth century. Statistics expose the church today as hypocritical, judgmental, sheltered, and overly political, to name just a few of the negative perceptions. Tempted to write off such perceptions as the cynicism of secular youth? Young people inside the church feel the same way? How has the body of Christ on earth become so unChristian? Experienced young adult pastor Russell Rathbun responds to the question and the perceptions with a challenging invitation to be transformedfrom unChristian to nuChristianby taking seriously the critique of a new generation.

Russell E. D. Rathbun, MDiv, is cofounder and pastor of House of Mercy, an innovative faith community in St. Paul, Minnesota. He is author of the critically acclaimed Post-Rapture Radio: Lost Writings from the Failed Revolution at the End of the Last Century (Jossey-Bass).
