As a result, Christianity's influence in nineteenth-century England was severely weakened. One hundred years later, John MacArthur, troubled by the seeker-sensitive movement and an emphasis on pragmatism within the church, sounded the same alarm with the first edition of \u003cem\u003eAshamed of the Gospel\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this newly revised and expanded edition, MacArthur gives an overview of developments in the seeker-sensitive movement since his book was first published in 1993. New material traces the line of pragmatic philosophy from the seeker-sensitive movement through the Emergent phenomenon, explaining why the latter is a philosophical heir of the former-and 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"display: none;\"\u003e | John MacArthur | Paperback | Crossway | When the Church Becomes Like the World\u003c\/details\u003e\n","brand":"GTY Europe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40834806612119,"sku":"9781433566752","price":14.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2340\/4469\/products\/9781433566752.jpg?v=1677689284","url":"https:\/\/shop.ebtc.org\/en\/products\/ashamed-of-the-gospel","provider":"EBTC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
