In this book, Brian Zahnd counters the 18th-century sermon 'Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God' by Jonathan Edwards, instead portraying God as a loving and merciful deity. Zahnd discusses topics such as the nature of God, the meaning of Jesus' crucifixion, and the doctrine of hell, arguing that God's love is the central message of the Gospel. He critiques traditional atonement theories that depict God as bloodthirsty and retributive, emphasizing instead that Jesus' death was an act of divine forgiveness and love. The book also explores the Book of Revelation, interpreting it as a message of God's victory through self-giving love rather than violence and vengeance.
In 'Another Gospel?', Alisa Childers describes her intellectual journey over several years as she grappled with questions that struck at the core of the Christian faith. Raised in a Christian home and formerly part of the popular Christian band ZOEgirl, Alisa's faith was deeply challenged by a progressive pastor. The book details her struggle with doubt and her eventual rebuilding of her faith through a thorough examination of historic Christianity. It serves as a guide for those encountering progressive Christianity, offering solid answers in a culture of endless questions.
Pastor Josh Blevins pastors a Calvary Chapel right down the road from a very prominent and influential progressive church. He has discipled many Christians out of progressive Christianity, and into a true biblical faith. Josh shares about how he accidentally stirred controversy by simply teaching the Bible, not realizing it was refuting what the progressive Church was teaching. This propelled him into a study of the movement of progressive Christianity, and into becoming a safe place for Christians longing for faithful Christian community and Bible study.
