- Notes
- Written by an investigative journalist before he became a pastor, and the method shows: the six chapters of part one each take one measurable trend -- attendance figures held to be inflated, giving, generational attrition -- and read it as an economist would read a recession. The appendices answer the two objections the argument invites.
