Whether you are a restless evangelical, in the emergent church movement, or consider yourself spiritual-but-not religious, you'll enjoy this spiritual memoir and vision for progressive Christianity. Michael Camp was on a tenacious quest for a vibrant and reasoned faith in God. Thinking he found it among evangelicals, he eventually faced deepening doubts and uncovered nine startling discoveries that turned conservative Christian theology on its head—and himself into a heretic among his peers.
May 8, 2012 Press Release
Without running into the arms of angry atheists, Camp reveals a vision for an open, broad-minded faith in Christ, ironically based on a fair exegetical reading of the Bible and the history of the early church. His conclusions are encouraging and eye opening, yet rarely stereotypical.

What other authors are saying:
"Confessions of a Bible Thumper has all the marks of a spiritual classic. Its honesty, courage, humor, and real "God" experiences are the mandatory rungs in the ladder people need to climb out of today's toxic cocktail of fundamentalism and cynicism, and walk boldly into the dazzling light of authentic spirituality. Bravo!"
- Jessica Maxwell, author the double-gold award winning spiritual memoir, Roll Around Heaven
"Camp's book marks an important milestone. It adds another chapter to a growing body of literature about what it is like to awake from the evangelical dream and discover that you've been living a nightmare. I recommend this book!"
- Frank Schaeffer, author of Crazy for God
"Confessions of a Bible Thumper is a provocative and insightful memoir by an evangelical Christian who dares to quit blindly accepting the 'bible-based' assumptions of fundamentalism to begin his deeply personal quest for a reasoned faith."
- Mel White, author of Religion Gone Bad and Holy Terror
"An important book for both conservative and progressive Christians. Much of it reads like a novel while being highly instructive."
- Marcus Borg, leading Jesus scholar, author of 21 books
