Synopsis
While journalists and some church historians have heralded the arrival of the "postdenominational" era of American Protestantism, there is little agreement on precisely what that means. In "Reinventing American Protestantism", sociologist Donald Miller goes a long way to establishing the core attributes and behaviors of what he calls "new paradigm" churches, and argues that the growth of churches like The Vineyard Christian Fellowship, Calvary Chapel, and Hope Chapel signals nothing less than a second Protestant Reformation, with an emphasis on felt personal conversions, physical healings, and a common evangelical theology.

Industry Reviews
"One of the most engaging, insightful discussion yet of American Protestantism's recent trend toward 'postdenominational' churches....One reason why Miller's study works so well is that he takes these new rituals seriously and claims that they fill a very real spiritual need....This elegant book offers something for everyone: Scholars will appreciate Miller's well-conceived sociological positioning of this phenomenon (with particular nods to William James and Robert Bellah), and other folks will value the compelling personal testimonies."
