unChristianity

Erik Guzman November 23rd, 2007

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.

This week on SBE, the president and strategic leader of The Barna Group, David Kinnaman, joins us to talk about his groundbreaking new book, unChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity…and Why it Matters.

Since joining Barna in 1995, David has designed and analyzed nearly five hundred research projects for clients like the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, NBC-Universal, Campus Crusade, Focus on the Family, and Time-Life. He is also the author of the Barna report, Ministry to Mosaics.

Don't miss our interview with Gabe Lyons, co-author of unChristian and founder of Fermi Project.
