Description
Book SynopsisIn a clear-eyed and eloquent voice, Vic Sizemore grapples movingly with his own bewilderment and chagrin as he struggles to reconcile the essential philosophical and moral decay that he believes many evangelicals have come to embrace.
Trade ReviewGoodbye, My Tribe is an excellent piece of creative nonfiction. Sizemore clearly understands the world of Protestant fundamentalism and conservative evangelicalism in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s." - John Fea, author of
Believe Me: The Evangelical Road to Donald Trump"
Goodbye, My Tribe is a beautifully written, inside look at conservative white evangelicalism. Sizemore draws on his upbringing to explain how his 'tribe' of white fundamentalists reconciles Christianity with racism, sexism, materialism, anti-intellectualism, and white supremacy." - Diane Winston, Knight Chair in Media and Religion, University of Southern California
