About the Book

The largest group in American religious life may be the disillusioned—people who have been involved in the church, respect Jesus, but question what Christianity has become. In If the Church Were Christian Philip Gulley provides a profound picture of what the church could look like if it refocused on the priorities of Jesus.

Critical Praise

“Filled with memorable, insightful and revealing stories. I recommend it.” — Marcus Borg

“Philip Gulley separates wheat from chaff, experience from explanation and purpose from function in this book. He calls the Jesus message into a new vision - one that has both power and integrity.” — John Shelby Spong, author of Eternal Life: A New Vision

“Gulley puts the Christ back in Christian. This manifesto is a call not just to worship Jesus, but to follow him. It asks the daring question, “What if Christians actually began to take their Christ seriously?” The answer to that question could change the world.” — Shane Claiborne, bestselling author of The Irresistible Revolution.

“Gulley has done a fine job pinpointing the flaws of the Christian churches and suggesting transformative paths to follow.” — Spirituality and Practice

“[Gulley’s] effortless and uncomplicated style allows for easy reading over some heavy material.” — Library Journal

“Gulley’s newest book is thoughtful, insightful and a joy to read.” — Indianapolis Star
