Andrew Farley is an American Christian author, pastor, and professor known for his writings on the nature of grace, Christian identity, and the understanding of the Christian life from a grace-based perspective. Farley serves as the lead pastor of Church Without Religion in Lubbock, Texas, and as an associate professor of applied linguistics at Texas Tech University. He is best known for his bestselling book "The Naked Gospel: The Truth You May Never Hear in Church," where he challenges legalistic and traditional religious norms and advocates for a return to the unadulterated gospel of grace. His work emphasizes the importance of understanding Jesus' finished work on the cross and how this revelation can lead to freedom and rest for believers. Farley often addresses issues about the New Covenant, forgiveness, and the freeing truth that Christians are not bound by the law but liberated by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
