The Evangelical Imagination

In her insightful examination of contemporary American evangelicalism, Karen Swallow Prior explores the movement's rich yet complicated history through literature, art, and popular culture. By unpacking core concepts like conversion and sentimentality, she seeks to delineate the spiritual from the cultural, offering a clearer understanding of what it means to be evangelical today. This book not only addresses the current identity crisis facing evangelicals but also provides valuable perspectives for those seeking to understand the broader implications of these ideas in society.
