To most, it still represents a cultural dinosaur that somehow survived into the twentieth century. Unbelievably, it not only survives but in many respects even thrives. |

| Publisher Description: Looking at what he calls 'The Coming Generation' of Evangelical opinion leaders and elites . . . Hunter draws a nuanced and finely detailed portrait of young Evangelicals who, while certainly more conservative than the mainstream of American Protestants, are at least ambivalent about some important aspects of fundamentalism and at most ready to repudiate elements of fundamentalist faith, politics, and practice. . . . With this book, James Hunter confirms his position as one of the most informed and informing writers on American Evangelicalism.--Samuel C. Heilman, This World |
