The New Faithful: Why Young Adults are Embracing Christian Orthodoxy

In her groundbreaking book, journalist Colleen Carroll examines Generation X and a growing trend toward Christian orthodoxy–a trend that might transform a society steeped in secularism. Born between 1965 and 1983, the young adults of Generation X grew up in an era of unprecedented wealth and consumerism. Rebelling against the liberal family, social, and academic environments in which they were raised, some have made strengthening their faith a priority. Blending investigative journalism with in-depth analysis, Carroll seeks the reasons behind the choice of orthodoxy in a society that often denigrates traditional morality and rejects organized religion.
