Post-evangelicalism is a movement of former adherents of evangelicalism, sometimes linked with the emerging church phenomenon, but including a variety of people who have distanced themselves from mainstream evangelical Christianity for theological, political, or cultural reasons.
Most who describe themselves as post-evangelical are still adherents of the Christian faith in some form.
While the origin of the term post-evangelical is uncertain, it was brought into broad usage by Dave Tomlinson and through his 1995 book of the same name.
Some post-evangelical criticisms of the evangelical church include but are not limited to: Christianity Today[4] explains that post-evangelicals have become willingly disassociated with the mainstream evangelical belief system over difficulties with any combination of at least the following issues: Publications identifying as post-evangelical include Recovering Evangelical, an online news and opinion portal for "evangelicals, post-evangelicals and those outside the church who still like Jesus", the blog Internet Monk, and Patrol Magazine.
Dave Tomlinson's book The Post Evangelical[1] and Graham Cray's The Post Evangelical Debate[5] are useful texts for understanding the movement and the debate surrounding it.
