Moral Ambition: Mobilization and Social Outreach in Evangelical Megachurches (The Anthropology of Christianity Book 12)

This book is a game-changer! "Moral Ambition" by Omri Elisha offers an in-depth exploration of American evangelical Christians' social engagement, revealing their hopes, frustrations, and activist strategies.

The author sheds light on the inherent contradictions that activists face in reconciling religious conservatism with a renewed interest in compassion, poverty, racial justice, and urban revivalism.

Through two Tennessee megachurches, Elisha shows how these ministries not only help churchgoers embody religious virtues but also create provocative new opportunities for evangelism on a public scale.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of American evangelicalism and its impact on society.
