The Great Evangelical Dilution
SYMPTOMS OF ADVANCED SPIRITUAL ANEMIA Denominationalism; myopia; sacramental religiosity; sacerdotal superstition; cheap grace; a just-in-off-the-street mentality; a too-puny conception of man; loss of contrition; mistaking of temples; pursuit of carnal victories; doctrinal correctness emphasized over righteousness; choreographed worship at the expense of pure New Testament fellowship; idolizing of symbolism; a Christ who is one part basketball star, one part corporate guru and one part master of ceremonies-all these symptoms of a diluted Christianity, and more, are the author's focus in this book. If you are provoked to anger, laughter, remorse and disruptive thought in reading this book, you have read it aright. Charles W. Schaefer, author, preacher and reformer, has been a professor of English literature and college administrator at secular and Christian universities. His other works include Christianity Without Religion, The Short Stories of Jesus Christ: Interpreting the Parables, and Expanding the Frontiers of Christian Consciousness.
