The End of White Christian America Audiobook (Free)

Winner from the 2019 Grawemeyer Prize in Religion

Robert P. Jones, CEO of the Public Religion Analysis Institute, spells out the profound political and ethnic consequences of a fresh reality-that America is usually no longer a majority white Christian nation. “Quite possibly probably the most illuminating text because of this election season” (The New York Times Reserve Review).

For most of our nation’s history, White Christian America (WCA) set the tone for our national policy and shaped American ideals. But especially about THE FINISH of White Christian America since the 1990s, WCA provides steadily lost impact, following declines within both its mainline and evangelical branches. Today, America is usually no longer demographically or culturally a majority white, Christian nation.

Drawing on a lot more than four decades of polling data, The End of White Christian America explains and analyzes the waning vitality of WCA. Robert P. Jones argues that this visceral character of today’s most warmed issues-the vociferous arguments around same-sex relationship and religious and intimate liberty, the rise from the Tea Party following election of our initial black leader, and stark disagreements between dark and white Us citizens on the fairness from the legal justice system-can just end up being understood against the backdrop of white Christians’ anxieties as America’s racial and spiritual topography shifts around them.

Beyond 2016, the descendants of WCA will absence the politics power they once had to set the conditions of the nation’s issue over beliefs and morals and to determine election outcomes. Looking forward, Jones forecasts the techniques they might adjust to find their put in place the new America-and the results for all of us all if they don’t. “Jones’s analysis is an insightful combination of background, sociology, religious research, and political science….This book will be of interest to an array of readers over the political spectrum” (Library Journal).
