Today I interviewed my friend Gabe Lyons of the Fermi Project about his new book, UnChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity... and Why It Matters.

Gabe and David Kinnaman of the Barna Group co-authored this book in which they explore some of the common perceptions that people have about Christians. Those perceptions include judgemental, anti-homosexual, and too political. I highly recommend people picking up a copy of this book.

I am particularly interested in the section on politics in this book. As regular readers of this blog probably know, I am very interested in changing the nature of political discourse in this country particularly as it relates to interactions between conservatives and liberals, Christians and non-Christians. Over the next few weeks, I am going to be focusing on this topic and will be interviewing more people that are challenging many of the preconceived notions of how Christians should approach politics.
