The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory

American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism
Book • 2023
In 'The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory', Tim Alberta provides an expansive and profoundly troubling portrait of the American evangelical movement.

The book explores how evangelical Christians have become polarized and entangled in partisan politics and cultural warfare, straying from the core teachings of Christ.

Alberta investigates the ways conservative Christians have pursued and abused power, highlighting the disconnect from New Testament scripture.

He documents the growing fracture within American Christianity, the impact of events like Donald Trump's presidency and the COVID-19 pandemic, and the challenges faced by individual pastors and churches in a rapidly secularizing America.
