{"product_id":"9781433523397","title":"Ashamed of the Gospel (3rd Edition): When the Church Becomes Like the World","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\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\/i\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 \u003ci\u003eAshamed of the Gospel\u003c\/i\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","brand":"Crossway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47124871577840,"sku":"9781433523397","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781433523397_p0.jpg?v=1763755615","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781433523397","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
