Jesus Wept: How a Corrupt and Political Christianity Created an Exodus of Young Americans

By Matt Young

Book Overview

Every time young Americans are preached to, their eyes roll back in their head. They have heard it all before, and they simply aren't interested in hearing it again. They don't care if you have found Jesus, they don't care if you think they are evil, and they aren't interested Christian morality. But why?It's simple. Young Americans by and large believe Christianity has lost Jesus, Christianity does more evil than good, and Christianity has become immoral. In the United States, Christianity has been completely taken over by conservative politics, and the faith that underpins it is now nearly unrecognizable. Hostile to anyone who does not wholeheartedly agree with their politics, Christians now chastise their neighbors rather than serve them; disparage the poor rather than help them; criminalize the refugee rather than welcome them; and legislate their faith on others rather than love them.Young Americans still hold religious values at similar levels as past generations; but those values are no longer found in churches, so they are leaving in record numbers. The Bible they read does not match the preaching they hear from religious, cultural, and political leaders who so vocally claim to follow Jesus.Jesus Wept helps readers see the world from the point of view of these young Americans, and understand why they think Christianity has lost its values, and become a corrupt faith.
