It would be impossible to post here all I would like, so permit me to simply post here for you some closing remarks by the author:įamous atheist Christopher Hitchens was once interviewed for Portland Monthly about his opposition to religion, and more specifically, Christianity. Doubt is what Satan accomplished with Adam & Eve.

He merely needs to plant seeds of doubt and hope that the jury doesn’t see the need to research his half-truth claims or misdirections. Like an attorney with a jury, Satan (our diabolical prosecutor) doesn’t have to discount the truth altogether. In fact, Paul addressed it in his letters. Galatians 1:6-9)Ĭhilders does an outstanding job of helping the reader know that this “progressive” attack on the Christian faith is nothing new. Bottom line: “progressive Christianity” strips the Christian faith of the biblical Christ – without many people even realizing it as they’re slowly and systematically sucked into a gospel in the image of man, which is “another gospel”, which is no gospel at all. A love for doubt, but not absolute truth. Childers describes it as a love for questions, but not answers. No different from Satan’s methods in Eden. Instead, they pose questions to which most believers don’t know the answers, planting seeds of doubt.

a clandestine questioning – and denial – of Jesus as God, the reliability of the Bible, the Cross & Resurrection, and more.Ī “progressive Christian” doesn’t just come out and deny these fundamentals of the Christian faith.

The author, Alisa Childers, clearly articulates the ethos of “progressive Christianity” as a systematic “deconstruction of 2000 years of historical Christianity” i.e. My copy (as with any book I read) is now annotated in pen and yellow highlighter from cover to cover.Įvery Christian – especially those in their teens through their 30’s – should pick up a copy. But, this one – perhaps because of the current state of North American church culture – was difficult to put down. Most often, I am reading three or four books at once. I rarely consume a book as quickly as I did this one.
