"Emerging Adulthood and Faith challenged me to embrace Hill's questions both professionally and personally. As a professor at a Christian college, I found the book to be thought-provoking; I felt affirmed in my work and influence in teaching college students within a Christian community. At the same time, the author inspired a desire in me to read more about the social pressures and historical changes that young adults confront. Additionally, I appreciated Hill's reminder and reassurance to continue to invest in and provide a religious context for faithful growth for my own children at home."
—Michelle C. Hughes, Associate Professor of Education, Westmont College

Overview
Is the Church losing the next generation of young people? Jonathan P. Hill critically examines this question, interpreting sociological data that takes into account the broader cultural and historical context. He challenges common assumptions and draws conclusions that are counterintuitive, complex, and encouraging.
