Description
Immanuel by Matthew McNaught explores his upbringing in an evangelical Christian community and its complex relationship with faith. As he moved away from his childhood faith, some friends joined a charismatic pastor's ministry in Nigeria, experiencing radical changes that led to violence and abuse. Reconnecting with these friends, McNaught reflects on the church's descent into hubris and division, and whether community can be found without dogma. This essay blends memoir, reportage, and reflection, examining the place of faith in the 21st century. The author questions whether the early years of his church were separable from its later decline, and what it means to find connection without tribalism or dogma. Matthew McNaught's exceptional debut is a thought-provoking exploration of community, doubt, and the complexities of faith.
