Using descriptions like “hypocritical,” “insensitive,” and “judgmental,” young Americans share an impression of Christians that’s nothing short of . . . unChristian. Groundbreaking research into the perceptions of 16 to 29-year-olds reveals that Christians have taken several giant steps backward in one of their most important assignments. This is what the book unChristian:What a New Generation Really Thinks About Christianity, by David Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons.
