Atlanta author to speak at Barnes & Noble

ATLANTA -- Atlanta-based writer Jonathan Merritt will host a talk and book signing at the Emory University Barnes & Noble next week.

Merritt will discuss his new book, A Faith of Our Own: Following Jesus Beyond the Culture Wars. According to Barnes & Noble:

A Faith of Our Own explores the changing face of American Christianity by examining the coming of age of a new generation of Christians, a generation that wants to influence American culture but is disenchanted with a faith that has become culturally antagonistic and too closely aligned with partisan politics.

Learn more about Merritt, who received his Master of Theology from Emory's Candler School of Theology, at jonathanmerritt.com.

The talk will be held at 6 p.m. on Friday, May 4. Barnes & Noble at Emory is located at 1390 Oxford Road.
