Leading the Church Away from Pharisaism to Christ-Centered Reformation
Scripture warns believers of hypocrisy–called the "leaven of the Pharisees"–and its potential to spread quickly in the church. Outwardly appearing as devout religion, this legalism hides destructive pride, idolatry, and even apostasy. How can the church today recognize and defeat one of Christianity's most ancient threats?
In this follow-up to his book Gospel People, Michael Reeves studies three essentials of Christian doctrine that the Pharisees misunderstood: biblical revelation, redemption, and regeneration. Calling modern evangelicals to a renewed commitment to gospel integrity, Reeves helps readers embrace a biblical, Trinitarian, and creedal understanding of the gospel necessary for true reformation.
