Krattenmaker is joined by a live audience, and prominent Portland evangelicals including Rick McKinley and Kevin Palau.<\/p><p>\n\tKrattenmaker is, in some sense, the Jane Goodall of evangelicalism: a sympathetic observer, but clearly outside the population he&#39;s studying. His new book, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-Evangelicals-You-Dont-Know\/dp\/1442215445\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">The Evangelicals You Don&#39;t Know<\/a><\/em>, is a kind secular view of our community, but again, <em>outside.<\/em><\/p><p>\n\tOf the book, OPB says &quot;The assumption implicit in the title is that the reader has a preconceived notion of what evangelical Christians look like. They&#39;re often stereotyped as narrow-minded and myopically focused on hot-button social issues like abortion and gay rights. The &quot;new&quot; evangelicals in his book &mdash; some of whom we&#39;ll meet on the show &mdash; are open-minded and are championing causes like education and climate change.&quot;<\/p><p>\n\t&quot;Evangelical Christianity in this country is undergoing a really important set of changes.&quot; Krattenmaker says in the show. &quot;And I really hope that my fellow secular\/progressive type people, including people in the media, begin to update their understanding of what&#39;s happening with this influential sector of our population known as evangelical Christians.&quot;<\/p><p>\n\tMany interesting quotes. Well worth a full listen.<\/p><p>\n\tAre we at a crossroads of Christian cultural identity as big as Krattenmaker asks? What does &quot;evangelical&quot; mean today?<\/p><p>\n\tKevin Palau nails it at the end of the session, saying that what Krattenmaker is observing isn&#39;t &quot;new&quot; at all, but a reclamation of ancient faith&quot;<\/p><p>\n\t&quot;We&#39;re not claiming to be doing anything new&quot; Palau says. &quot;We&#39;re trying to recover true, more ancient Christianity that didn&#39;t bifurcate proclamation and social justice living it out. We would say that it&#39;s been more modern American Christianity that&#39;s separated the two.
