Southern Fried Faith: How the Bible Belt Confuses Christ and Culture,


Using his experience growing up in the U.S. South and as a former pastor in the region, Rob Tims’ new book, Southern Fried Faith: How the Bible Belt Confuses Christ and Culture, explores the relationship between Christianity and life below the Mason-Dixon line. I wrote this about the book:
One of the biggest challenges for the church today is to see through the clutter of cultural Christianity to the unchanging, biblical gospel that creates a new kind of culture in its place. Southern Fried Faith is written by a pastor who loves the church in the South enough to affirm its beauty where possible and challenge its idolatry where needed. This is a funny, convicting, and hope-filled book.
Rob, currently a strategist for Discipleship in Context, was kind enough to answer some questions about his book, Southern culture in general, and also the culture in most Southern churches. Keep reading
Pastors, other church leaders, and informed church members, if they are involved in a church in the United States in the South, will want to read this book.
