After Evangelicalism Group Study Guide

A Group Study Guide to David Gushee's Bestselling After Evangelicalism



Millions are getting lost in the evangelical maze: inerrancy, indifference to the environment, deterministic Calvinism, purity culture, racism, LGBTQ discrimination, male dominance, and Christian nationalism. As one of America's leading public scholars on these issues in religion today, David Gushee offers a clear assessment and his book After Evangelicalism shines a light on the path forward.



The After Evangelicalism Group Study Guide encourages people to read and reflect together on Christianity after evangelicalism.



This study guide, written by someone who taught the material himself, can be used by individuals or groups to accompany the reading of the book. The guide is structured in five sections, each dealing with two of the book's chapters. Each week of the guide offers three sections: Getting Ready, giving a summary of the big ideas from the book as well as questions for personal reflection; Group Discussion, offering five or six discussion questions; and Paths Forward, providing supplementary material for going further or deeper. There are also one or two spiritual practices people can try, as well as an optional simple Bible study.



" . . . a succinct yet deeply informed guide for post-evangelicals seeking to pursue Christ-honoring lives."
