The Disappearance of God: Dangerous Beliefs in the New Spiritual Openness

Overview

"""Great biblical truths are meant not only for our intellectual acceptance, but for our spiritual health."" -Dr. Al Mohler More faulty information about God swirls around us today than ever before. No wonder so many followers of Christ are unsure of what they really believe in the face of the new spiritual openness attempting to alter unchanging truth. For centuries the church has taught and guarded the core Christian beliefs that make up the essential foundations of the faith. But in our postmodern age, sloppy teaching and outright lies create rampant confusion, and many Christians are free-falling for ""feel-good"" theology. We need to know the truth to save ourselves from errors that will derail our faith. As biblical scholar, author, and president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Dr. Albert Mohler, writes, ""The entire structure of Christian truth is now under attack."" With wit and wisdom he tackles the most important aspects of these modern issues- Is God changing His mind about sin? Why is hell off limits for many pastors? What's good or bad about the ""dangerous"" emergent movement? Have Christians stopped seeing God as God? Is the social justice movement misguided? Could the role of beauty be critical to our theology? Is liberal faith any less destructive than atheism? Are churches pandering to their members to survive? In the age-old battle to preserve the foundations of faith, it's up to a new generation to confront and disarm the contemporary shams and fight for the truth. Dr. Mohler provides the scriptural answers to show you how."

From grade inflation to global calamities, Albert Mohler is a steady guide. From the psychological coddling of the American ego to the hollowing of the American conscience, Mohler is unremittingly clear-headed. From Nineveh to New Orleans, Mohler holds the mirror at a blazing forty-five-degree angle between heaven and earth. The burning light of divine wisdom illumines a hundred shadows of our human folly. And at the center of the blaze is the mighty cross of Jesus Christ defining the final meaning of everything. I thank God for Albert Mohler. John Piper, pastor for preaching and vision, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, MN Al Mohler is a unique gift to the church. His writing combines penetrating theological discernment and insightful cultural analysis with a passion to faithfully proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. I m delighted that Al s wisdom is now available in this book. May it be the first of many. C. J. Mahaney, Sovereign Grace Ministries In <i>The Disappearance of God, </i> Dr. Mohler has provided a striking, biblically-based treatment of a coterie of compelling issues which threaten the religious public at every turn. With his usual incisive and scintillating analysis, he sorts out healthy from unhealthy influences and charts a path for future church development. If you are serious about navigating our contemporary world, this is a necessary read. Paige Patterson, President, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Fort Worth, Texas Here is a picture on the life of the church where it is being troubled, seduced, and attacked by today s dominant cultural forces. Its analysis is clear and to the point., and its answers are biblically framed, thoughtful, and helpful. I wish there were more books like this! David F. Wells, Distinguished Research Professor, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary There is a paucity of prophetic Christian voices today speaking about the dangerous trends in our churches and culture. Albert Mohler is one of those leading voices who provides clarity and conviction in a culture of ambiguity, aimlessness, and ambivalence. I am thankful for his book <i>The Disappearance of God </i>and the clear direction it provides in the murky culture in which we live. Above all, I am thankful for Dr. Mohler and his heart for Christ s church. Thom S. Rainer, president and CEO, LifeWay Christian Resources, andauthor of <i>Essential Church </i>and<i> Simple Life</i>
