Michael Horton stands up against the crowd and throws down a challenging rebuke to the Western Church in his revolutionary book – ‘Christless Christianity’.

Is it possible that we have taken Christ out of Christianity? And if so, what does that say about our Western Churches? Are they more Western than Christian?

These are the provocative questions Michael Horton asks in this intelligently argued book. According to Michael, even though we speak his name, we have pushed aside Christ and his gospel. As a result, we have a faith that is “trivial and irrelevant”.

This alternation Gospel of the American Church sends a message to Western culture. Christianity has become a moralist, personal comfort, self-help, self-improvement, and individualistic religion.

The chapter listings are as follows:

1. Christless Christianity: The American Captivity of the Church
2. Naming Our Captivity: Moralistic, Therapeutic Deism
3. Smooth Talking and Christless Christianity
4. How We Turn Good News into Good Advice
5. Your Own Personal Jesus
6. Delivering Christ: The Message and the Medium

7. A Call to the Resistance

   We have built a religion that belittles God for our own selfish needs. After pointing out the problem, Horton offers us his solution: to repent and turn back to an unalterable gospel of salvation.
