Description
Who Is a True Christian?: Contesting Religious Identity in American Culture investigates the fundamental question of Christian authenticity in the modern American context. David W. Congdon argues that determining who qualifies as a “true Christian” has become a deeply contested and politicized matter, with significant implications for religious communities and public discourse.
Through rigorous theological analysis and cultural criticism, Congdon examines how various Christian movements, denominations, and traditions claim authority to define authentic Christian identity. The book explores tensions between evangelical, mainline Protestant, Catholic, and other Christian perspectives, while considering how secular culture, politics, and social movements influence these definitions.
Published by Cambridge University Press, this scholarly work provides essential insights for understanding the fragmentation of American Christianity and the ongoing debates about religious identity, orthodoxy, and belonging in contemporary society.
