ISBN Christless Christianity (The Alternative Gospel of the American Church) book English Paperback 256 pages

The church in America has been willingly taken captive. The captors are American culture and ideals: consumerism, pragmatism, self-sufficiency, individualism, positive thinking, personal prosperity, and nationalism. These are antithetical to the gospel, but we have nevertheless made them part and parcel with it. We are well on our way to a Christless Christianity.The result? A faith that is, in Michael Horton's prophetic words, 'trivial, sentimental, affirming, and irrelevant.' This alternative 'gospel' is a message of moralism, personal comfort, self-help, self-improvement, and individualistic religion. It trivializes God, making him a means to our selfish ends.In this critically acclaimed book, Horton skillfully diagnoses the problem and points to the solution: a return to the unadulterated gospel of salvation. Here is a must-read for anyone concerned about the state and future of Christianity and the church in America.The Author Michael HortonMichael Horton (PhD, University of Coventry and Wycliffe Hall, Oxford) is J.
