160 pages ; 22 cmFrom places like John Piper's den, Al Mohler's office, and Jonathan Edwards's college, Christianity Today journalist Collin Hansen investigates what makes today's young Calvinists tick. Church-growth strategies and charismatic worship have fueled the bulk of evangelical growth in America for decades. While baby boomers have flocked to churches that did not look or sound like church, it seems these churches do not so broadly capture the passions of today's twenty-something evangelicals. In fact, a desire for transcendence and tradition among young evangelicals has contributed to a Reformed resurgence. For nearly two years, Christianity Today journalist Collin Hansen visited the chief schools, churches, and conferences of this growing movement. He sought to describe its members and ask its leading pastors and theologians about the causes and implications of the Calvinist resurgence. The result, Young, Restless, Reformed, shows common threads in their diverse testimonies and suggests what tomorrow's church might look like when these young evangelicals become pastors or professors. - Publisher.Born again again : Passion Conference, Atlanta, Georgia -- Out of Bethlehem : Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota -- Big man on campus : Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut -- Ground zero : Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky -- Drug-induced Calvinism : Covenant Life Church, Gaithersburg, Maryland -- Forget reinvention : New Attitude Conference, Louisville, Kentucky -- Missional mindset : Mars Hill Church, Seattle, Washington.Collin Hansen.Includes bibliographical references and index.CalvinismCalvinismHistory20th centuryReformed ChurchHistory20th centuryCalvinistsCalvinismCalvinistsReformed Church 1900-1999 fast BX9422.3 .H37 2008284/.273090511978158134940515813494082008006501http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0811/2008006501.htmlhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0811/2008006501.htmlDLC08021420200429082258.0ocn199455320eng
