Despite the masses still lining up to enter mega-churches with warehouse-like architecture, casually dressed clergy, and pop Christian music, the "Post-Boomer" generation-those ranging in age from twenty to forty-is having second thoughts. In this perceptive look at the evolving face of Christianity in contemporary culture, sociologists Richard Flory and Donald E. Miller argue that we are on the verge of another potential revolution in how Christians worship and associate with one another. Just as the formative experiences of Baby Boomers were colored by such things as the war in Vietnam, the 1960's, and a dramatic increase in their opportunities for individual expression, so Post-Boomers have grown up in less structured households with working (often divorced) parents. These childhood experiences leave them craving authentic spiritual experience, rather than entertainment, and also cause them to question institutions. Flory and Miller develop a typology that captures four current approaches to the Christian faith and argue that this generation represents a new religious orientation of "expressive communalism," in which they seek spiritual experience and fulfillment in community and through various expressive forms of spirituality, both private and public.

GenXers are assumed to be a thoroughly secular and apathetic group but they actually attend church in roughly the same numbers as Baby Boomers. This book examines the myriad ways GenXers reinvent religion, from church services in dance clubs to sacred tattooing, Christian hardcores who worship in the mosh pit and Gothic spirituality. This book is aimed at ministers and youth group leaders, social analysts, members of the media - anyone who wants to understand Generation X, as well as sociologists and other scholars working in the fields of religion and popular culture.
