We are currently experiencing the largest and fastest religious shift in US history.
It is greater than the First and Second Great Awakening and every revival in our country combined…but in the opposite direction. Yet precious little rigorous study has been done on the broad phenomenon of de-churching in America. Jim Davis and Michael Graham have commissioned the largest and most comprehensive study of de-churching in America by renowned sociologists Dr. Ryan Burge and Dr. Paul Djupe.
The Great De-churching takes the insights gleaned from this study to drill down on how exactly people are de-churching with respect to beliefs, behavior, and belonging.
This book gives the church in America its first ever deep dive into the de-churched phenomenon. You’ll learn about the de-churched through a detailed sketch of demographics, size, core concerns, church off-ramps, historical roots, and the gravity of what is at stake. Then you’ll explore what can be done to slow the bleed, engage the pertinent issues winsomely and wisely, and hopefully re-church some of the de-churched.
