Christless Christianity : The Alternative Gospel of the American Church

---

Outline: 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 neverthelss made them part and parcel with it. We are well on our way to a Christless Christianity. The result? The faith that is, in the author'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, the author skillfully diagnoses the problem and points to the solution: a return to the undulterated gospel of salvation. Here is a must-read for anyone concerned about the state and future of Christianity and the church in America.
