Fundamorphosis: How I Left Fundamentalism But Didn’t Lose My Faith

Fundamorphosis: How I Left Fundamentalism But Didn’t Lose My Faith is the story of how Robb Ryerse went from being a fundamentalist pastor to an emergent church planter. When the answers he’d always been taught stopped resonating with him, Robb couldn’t in good conscience go on perpetuating the traditions and beliefs of his church.

Fundamorphosis details the struggle of saying goodbye to the church he had always known. But more than just deconstructing fundamentalism, Fundamorphosis provides a constructive look at the shape Robb’s beliefs now take: authentic, gracious, optimistic, and unfinished.

Fundamorphosis is a story in which many will be able to find themselves. It’s a thought-provoking roadmap for those who are in the midst of their own fundamorphosis.

How refreshing to read Robb Ryerse’s Fundamorphosis, an account of leaving fundamentalism while retaining faith. Many others will recognize themselves in this well-written, moving story—and hopefully come to similar conclusions.

So many struggle with keeping their faith when confronted with those who preach an unjust, proud, and merciless gospel. It’s encouraging to read the story a Christian who has at long last met Christ.
