Christians Are Hate-Filled Hypocrites...and Other Lies You've Been Told by Bradley R.E. Wright, PhD

Christians are Hate-Filled Hypocrites...and Other Lies You've Been Told by Bradley R.E. Wright, PhD is a very informative book. Almost too informative for this reader. It's obvious that Mr. Wright (yes, I just had to put that in here somewhere....LOL) spent a lot of time in his research. He breaks down years of information into charts where he shows the reader the demographics of who believes in what (man, woman and which belief system they've chosen as their own). There is a ton of information in this book and frankly, I found it hard to concentrate on all of it. I did like the chapter about what non-Christians think of us. I think in order to grasp all of the information in this book it needs to be read more than once. I tend to agree with the author on most of the subject matter because I've witnessed both the good and the bad over my years in ministry.

About the book:

You've probably heard the many negative media reports about the evangelical church, such as:

• Christian young people are leaving the Christian faith in record numbers
• The divorce rate among Christians is as high as those of nonbelievers
• Christians today are watered down in their beliefs and actions

But are these truly accurate?

In Christians are Hate-Filled Hypocrites...and Other Lies You've Been Told, sociologist Bradley R.E. Wright shatters these popular myths, along with many others. Using the best available data, he reveals to readers why and how many of the commonly shared statistics are incomplete and inaccurate.
