Power Religion: The Selling Out of the Evangelical Church?

by Michael Scott Horton (Editor), Charles W. Colson (Contributor), J.I. Packer (Contributor)

What happens when the church starts to rely on the world's method of living instead of God's specified plan? Those concerned with the many liberal changes occurring in the evangelical church will be intrigued and awakened by this challenging book. Fifteen theologians and Bible scholars explore how sociology, in the form of the church growth movement, has taken the place of revival and reform.

Reviews

[Ralph · Rating 1 out of 5]

Very poor research to some of these articles, especially the ones re Wimber

[Charles Redfern · Rating 1 out of 5]

Carson's essay on Wimber and the Vineyard was a highly inaccurate hatchet job, unworthy of the word, "scholarship." Wayne Grudem wrote an excellent reply, which can be found on his web site.
