Christless Christianity: The Alternative Gospel of the American Church

by Michael Scott Horton
$8.90
Christless Christianity: The Alternative Gospel of the American Church
Christless Christianity: The Alternative Gospel of the American Church

An examination of today's Americanized Christianity

If you've felt a dissonance between American cultural Christianity and the true essence of Christ's teachings, Horton's "Christless Christianity" could be an eye-opener for you. Morton doesn't just critique; he diagnoses the issue with a sharp scalpel and offers a thought-provoking prescription for returning to a Christ-centered faith. It's particularly compelling if you're searching for a book that challenges the status quo of modern religious practice and seeks to remind us of the foundational principles of Christianity.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Is it possible that we have left Christ out of Christianity? Is the faith and practice of American Christians today more American than Christian? These are the provocative questions Michael Horton addresses in this well-received, insightful book. He argues that while we invoke the name of Christ, too often Christ and the Christ-centered gospel are pushed aside. The result is a message and a faith that are, in Horton's 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. Horton skillfully diagnoses the problem and points to the solution: a return to the unadulterated gospel of salvation.
