In the third edition of this topselling book, John MacArthur challenges the seekersensitive, userfriendly, entertainmentoriented pragmatism that permeates the church today.In the late 1800s, Charles Spurgeon warned that the church was drifting away from the purity of the gospel, candycoating God's Word rather than boldly proclaiming the truths of Scripture. As a result, Christianity's influence in nineteenthcentury England was severely weakened. One hundred years later, John MacArthur, troubled by the seekersensitive movement and an emphasis on pragmatism within the church, sounded the same alarm with the first edition of Ashamed of the Gospel.In this newly revised and expanded edition, MacArthur gives an overview of developments in the seekersensitive movement since his book was first published in 1993. New material traces the line of pragmatic philosophy from the seekersensitive movement through the Emergent phenomenon, explaining why the latter is a philosophical heir of the formerand an even greater danger; chronicles the failure of pragmatic approaches to church growth; and emphasizes the importance of evangelicals solidly committed to biblical doctrine rising to positions of leadership.
