Caught in the Current

While Evangelicalism is known for its defence of orthodoxy and resistance to liberalizing trends, it is being reshaped by the modern zeitgeist in ways that evangelicals themselves do not realize. Offering an insider’s view into British and Canadian evangelical churches, Caught in the Current explores how and why evangelicals are changing.

“Sam Reimer significantly expands our understanding of the shifting religious landscape in Canada and the UK through a comparative lens. This is particularly valuable since Canada lacks the volume of commentary on the topic that we see in the US, and in-depth analysis of evangelical convictions are generally missed by the mainstream media. Written by one of the top experts in the field, Caught in the Current is rich in data and incisive in its commentary.” Peter J.
