Emerging Adulthood and Faith

Jonathan P. Hill

Calvin College Press, 2015 - Religion - 84 pages

Is the Church losing the next generation of young people? Jonathan P. Hill critically examines this question, interpreting sociological data that takes into account the broader cultural and historical context. He challenges common assumptions and draws conclusions that are counterintuitive, complex, and encouraging.
