Asphalt Jesus

finding a new Christian faith along the highways of America

1st ed.

On Easter 2006, Eric Elnes and several companions set out to walk from Phoenix, Arizona to the nation{u2019}s capital. They dreamed of fostering deeper conversations about what it means to be progressive Christians in an age of fundamentalism. On their journey they discovered thousands of people in every state{u2014}red and blue{u2014}and every kind of church who welcomed them and shared their hunger for relationship and conversation about what it means to be_ Christian. Asphalt Jesus tells the story of the journey and further articulates a joyous and loving faith that moves beyond simple categories of ?Christian Right? and ?Christian Left.?
