The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American… von Tim Alberta
Gets a bit repetitive, but manages to interesting throughout.
I’ve admired Tim Alberta’s work in the Atlantic for some time. I didn’t know a lot about Alberta’s personal life, especially his devotion to his religion and his knowledge of the Bible and the clerical world in general. I felt a bit like an interloper reading this book since I’ve not been a religious person since saying goodbye to the Catholic schools of my youth. One thing about this book is certain: critics can’t claim the Alberta is a “woke” lefty non-believing journalist out to do a hit job on the corrupt evangelical world.

Superbly reported. Extremely timely and relevant. This is a thorough examination of how many in the American Church have lost their way and fed a habit of idolatry instead of keeping their focus on Jesus Christ. As a result, many who consider themselves evangelicals have helped Protestant organizations (churches, political organizations, universities, et al) amass great wealth and political power, all at the expense of their souls and what could have been harmony in the United States.
This book is eye-opening and terrifying.
