The Diluted Church: Calling Believers to Live Out of Their True Heritage

Ekklesia Press, 2005 - 276 páginas
From the Publisher: In this systematic study, author Timothy L. Price examines two of the most explosive subjects in conversation: religion and politics. Addressed mainly to religious conservatives, this book asks as many questions to the ¿Religious-Right¿ about their approach. This work exposes hypocrisy and ignorance that are part and parcel with accepting the religious conservative bandwagon as a legitimate way of expressing Christ to a non-believing society. The author is detailed in exposing the fallacy of using politics to do the church¿s work. This book is about redirecting the energy of the ¿Religious-Right, ¿ from being aggressive and self-righteous, to becoming more like Christ. If culture change is what the religious conservatives want, why are they so afraid to change themselves? Why do they assume that culture change should be in their direction? And why are they vehemently opposed any person of faith that would credibly question their sense rightness? Get this book and discover why.
