Monkey Town just deepened my appreciation for her in all three of those areas. I read because she asks good questions, challenges me, and is personally a good example of many Christians right now. I noticed fairly quickly that Rachel and I disagree on just about every controversial Christian issue out there and reading Evolving in Monkey Town confirmed most of that.īut I didn’t read her blog and book because she agrees with me. I’ve followed Rachel’s blog ever since Renee Johnson interviewed her a few months ago (thanks, Renee). I wish we didn’t have to struggle through all this. And I don’t say “sadly” because I want something new – I say it because I wish this general story weren’t so common all over the place. Sadly, the general story is pretty unoriginal. Evolving in Monkey Town is about a southern, church girl, Rachel Held Evans, who grows up in fundamentalist Christian culture, enters a doubting phase in college and then… well, moves into a still-unsure-but-very-different perspective.
