Christianity has an image problem. New research into the perceptions of 16 to 29-year-old non-Christians reveals that something has gone terribly wrong with Christianity. Using descriptions like "hypocritical," "insensitive," and "judgmental," young Americans share an impression of Christians that's nothing short of...unChristian. We're supposed to represent Christ to the world. What's happened? In addition to the important and surprising details of the study commissioned by Fermi Project and conducted by The Barna Group, included are insightful forward-thinking responses from Rick McKinley, Brian McLaren, Chuck Colson, Andy Crouch, Sarah Cunningham, Mike Foster, Jim White, John Stott, Andy Stanley, Jim Wallis, Gary Haugen, Margaret Feinberg, Rick Warren and others. Why do these negative perceptions exist? What can we do to change them? How can we more lovingly and positively contribute to culture? As the Church moves forward, essential questions that need answers...Coming generations are depending on us.
