Career

Bradley's 2013 book, Aliens in the Promised Land, is a minority-led conversation about racism in the U.S. evangelical church. [6]

In his 2015 book Runaway Radical, author Jonathan Hollingsworth identifies Bradley as the first to identify a new kind of evangelical legalism, in which young people feel compelled to enact their devotion to the Gospel by such radical acts as giving away all of their possessions, or dropping out of university to dedicate their lives to serving the poor.
