(Revised and expanded edition)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn the third edition of this top-selling book, John MacArthur challenges the seeker-sensitive, user-friendly, entertainment-oriented pragmatism that permeates the church today.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the late 1800s, Charles Spurgeon warned that the church was drifting away from the purity of the gospel, candy-coating God's Word rather than boldly proclaiming the truths of Scripture. As a result, Christianity's influence in nineteenth-century England was severely weakened. One hundred years later, John MacArthur, troubled by the seeker-sensitive movement and an emphasis on pragmatism within the church, sounded the same alarm with the first edition of \u003cem\u003eAshamed of the Gospel\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this newly revised and expanded edition, MacArthur gives an overview of developments in the seeker-sensitive movement since his book was first published in 1993. New material traces the line of pragmatic philosophy from the seeker-sensitive movement through the Emergent phenomenon, explaining why the latter is a philosophical heir of the former-and an even greater danger; chronicles the failure of pragmatic approaches to church growth; and emphasizes the importance of evangelicals solidly committed to biblical doctrine rising to positions of leadership.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56450734588278,"sku":"9781433566752","price":15.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_34501337.jpg?v=1760453891","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781433566752-ashamed-of-the-gospel","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
