This has a five minute video, and the first chapter (pdf) of the book.

What's your verdict?

Here, on page eleven...

...the purpose of singing (the "worship time") seems today more focused on our opportunity to express our own individual piety, experience, and commitment. We come to church, it seems, less to be transformed by the Good News than to celebrate our own transformation and to receive fresh marching orders for transforming ourselves and our world. Rather than being swept into God's new world, we come to church to find out how we can make God relevant to the "real world" that the New Testament identifies as the one that is actually fading away.

hmmmm........

"Christless Christianity" is not really about Christianity without Christ for this gentleman, but about Christianity--without--what--Dr. Michael Horton--deems--most--essential--about--Christianity. Dr. Horton would no doubt strongly disagree with the version of Christianity found here: http://sites.google.com/site/gospelbeyondbelief (note opening quote by Greg Boyd), but that site speaks about Jesus and his atoning work as much as Horton does.

Be without fear in the face of your enemies

Be brave and upright

Speak the truth

Safeguard the helpless

That is your oath
