| From places like John Piper’s den, Al Mohler’s office, and Jonathan Edwards’s
college, Christianity Today journalist Collin Hansen investigates
what makes today’s young Calvinists tick.
Church-growth strategies and charismatic worship have fueled the bulk of
evangelical growth in America for decades. While baby boomers have flocked to
churches that did not look or sound like church, it seems these churches do not
so broadly capture the passions of today’s twenty-something evangelicals. In
fact, a desire for transcendence and tradition among young evangelicals has
contributed to a Reformed resurgence.
For nearly two years, Christianity Today journalist Collin
Hansen visited the chief schools, churches, and conferences of this growing
movement. He sought to describe its members and ask its leading pastors and
theologians about the causes and implications of the Calvinist resurgence. The
result, Young, Restless, Reformed, shows common threads in their
diverse testimonies and suggests what tomorrow’s church might look like when
these young evangelicals become pastors or professors.
“Collin Hansen invites us on a voyage of discovery, learning how our restless
youth are discovering anew the great doctrines of the Christian faith. Weary of
churches that seek to entertain rather than teach, longing after the true meat
of the Word, these young people are pursuing doctrine. Discover how God is
moving among the young, the restless, and the Reformed.”

“Young, Restless, Reformed is the product of some outstanding
research. This book will help the reader gain valuable insight into the growing
Reformed movement in America.”
