Christianity Today's Top 50 Books That Have Shaped Evangelicals

50 Works 196,983 Books 2,181 Reviews 4.0
"These are books that have shaped evangelicalism as we see it today—not an evangelicalism we wish and hope for. Books that have been published since World War II—not every book in the history of show more Christianity. Books that over the last 50 years have altered the way American evangelicals pray, gather, talk, and reach out—not books that merely entertained.We asked dozens of evangelical leaders for their suggestions, and they sent in their nominations. Then we vigorously debated as a staff as we ranked the 50 books." Published in Christianity Today on October 6, 2006. http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2... show less
