The always-interesting Zack Exley is on the road scouting “the fourth Great Awakening,” in which grassroots Christians are discovering that Jesus was pretty damn progressive. His blog as he travels through the heartland is provocative and eye-opening (at least for this Northeastern Jew). As he writes in the about page:

This blog is a plea to the progressive movement, to take another look and get to know the diverse and complex world of evangelical Christianity in its own terms. Here you’ll find interviews, commentary, analysis and other dispatches from all over “Jesusland.” This tour will explore everything from the workings of the local church, to the evangelicals’ vibrant, decentralized national leadership training infrastructure to theological questions such as, “How in the world DO they read the Bible literally?” and “Do they really think I’m going to hell?”
