Has American Christianity Failed?

De: Bryan Wolfmueller

Narrado por: Tim H. Dixon

American Christianity teaches the centrality of the individual: my will, my experiences, my decision, my heart, my work, and my dedication. Yet we couldn't be more unaware that Christ and His saving and comforting work are being lost. Our minds and hearts are captivated in some way by those who often preach the Christian instead of Christ.

Author Bryan Wolfmueller sounds the alarm against the false teaching and dangerous practices of Christianity in America. He offers a beautiful alternative: the sweet savor of the Gospel, which brings us to the real comfort, joy, peace, freedom, and sure hope of Christ.

Recommended Reading

Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller is one of the most valuable introductions to Lutheranism I've come across. After following him in YouTube for some time, I finally purchased a copy of this book and am very pleased to see it's more of his friendly, approachable but knowledgeable demeanor while standing firm on the Holy Scriptures and their interpretations from the Lutheran Confessions.

This critique of American Evangelicalism is even more valuable with the Reverend's own background as a former evangelical. I was easily able to connect with his perspective since I too come from this background and am now transferring into the Lutheran Church.

Perhaps a bit lengthier than other introductory works, it nevertheless offers a solid foundation upon which to build your understanding of what major beliefs Lutherans hold, why they hold them, and how they compare to their Evangelical counterparts.

I look forward to the next chance I can dig into a Wolfmueller book. Excellent work, Pastor!

Absolutely excellent!!! A must read!!!!

Absolutely excellent!!! A must read!!!! I can’t even summarize how amazing this book is. I’ve never heard the clarity on these topics spelled out like this before. Excellent pastoral teaching.

An excellent summary of the Biblical Gospel and why it is lacking in the American church

Pastor Wolfmueller does an excellent job recounting his years of experience in the American evangelical church, which were very similar to my own. His summary was extremely accurate, and his presentation of the Lutheran alternative highly compelling.

Christianity is about The Christ, not the Christian.

Every Christian needs to read this book! It will challenge you, it will teach you, but most of all it will point you to your Savior Jesus the Christ. The author lived American Christianity, he speaks from experience, but more than that, he points the reader to Jesus. You will not be disappointed, I promise.

Wonderful Analysis!

This book helped me take a more critical look at my faith and understand the shortcomings of the churches I grew up in. Can’t recommend it enough!

Much More Than a Critique

From the title I expected a thorough critique of American Christianity from Pastor Wolfmueller’s Lutheran perspective. While I certainly got that from this book, I was pleasantly surprised to find much more than that. Pastor Wolfmueller explains all of the main teachings of Lutheranism in a plain and simple way and shows how they are in accord with the Bible. He contrasts Biblical teaching with what is commonly taught in many American churches. He does this in a winsome and loving way and as one who has first hand knowledge of what the differences are. I highly recommend this title to anyone interested in learning more about the problematic teachings in American Christianity from a Biblical perspective and the Lutheran difference.

A MUST for any Christian!

An outstanding book that ALL Christians should read/listen to. Undeniable truths derived from scripture the entire way through.

American Christianity exposed

I recommend this book for everyone. It exposes the failures of American Christianity and presents the alternative.

Read it. You won’t be sorry!

Some books that speak about Christianity are way over my head and I can’t stay with reading them. Pastor Wolfmueller is so relatable! He explains things in a way I that I can understand. The BEST part though, is that everything is backed up by scripture which he references throughout. I can’t express how much I’ve learned from this book. It’s helped my finally love reading and studying my Bible and to cherish biblical theology that focuses on Christ instead of the Christian. I also love that it’s available in audio form!!! I read it first and now own it in both forms. I will re listen often. Read it (or listen) You won’t be sorry!

Great read for every Christian!

Could not recommend this book more. Bryan points is back to God’s word and truth!
