A Review of James Jeffries' Sabotaging Christianity by J.P. Holding | ||
| | Some years ago, Dave Hunt pounded the alarm bell into pulp with a book titled The Seduction of Christianity in which he warned of the influence of New Age, positive-thinking thought on our churches. Hunt was not a Biblical scholar, and neither is Jeffries (a former FBI agent and businessman) -- he is a concerned Christian layman speaking his piece, and to that extent, his words are worthy of respect as he sounds his own alarm of concern over how, among other things, concepts of sin are being deleted from our churches. The typical Tekton reader will agree with Jeffries' concern, but not all of his answers. Jeffries' understanding of concepts like grace (see here) is no different from that of the average Christian believer who has been subjected to anachronized misinterpretations of the concept, divorced from the defining context of the ancient client-patron relationship. We would recommend this book only for those who need a rallying message over what is indeed a real problem in our churches today. |
