About this listen
A clear and frank exploration of the future of Christianity and whether it needs to be saved.
We live in confusing times. Our society has shifted on its moral axis, and many are asking whether Christianity needs to be reinvented - or even reimagined - in order to save it. With Newsweek declaring "The Decline and Fall of Christian America" on its cover and The Daily Beast questioning "Does Christianity Have a Future?", bloggers and Christian commentators are discussing whether we need a "new of kind of Christianity."
In Saving Christianity?, Dr. Michael Youssef explores this train of thought and its pitfalls. He describes how similar discussions in Christianity's recent past explored the very same question. Saving Christianity? will help you discern what is going on within the church while it reviews the essentials of the Christian faith as described in the Bible.
We dare not abandon this "mere faith," as Dr. Youssef describes it, because it is the light for all humanity - and especially for those of us living in today's chaotic times.
After listening to Saving Christianity?, you'll have a renewed confidence in the future of the church and the central place it will occupy for generations to come.

Radical Islam has been waging war against our global civilization throughout history. Dr. Michael Youssef, a Coptic Christian who was born in Egypt and now leads a megachurch in America, knows from firsthand experience that radical Islamists have goals that many American Christians believe are “unthinkable”. He warns Western Christians that a third jihad underway, and its goal is to take over the West.

Striking parallels exist between the "Beast" of Revelation (the Antichrist) and the prophetic figure in Islam known as the Mahdi. Muslims view the Mahdi as a great savior who will lead a revolution and establish a global Islamic empire over the West. Both the Antichrist and the Mahdi are associated with the end-time and the Judgment. Both possess political, military, and religious power, and each heads up a one-world religion.

Story
Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.

Doctrine is the word Christians use to define the truth-claims revealed in Holy Scripture. Of course, there is a multitude of churches, church networks, and denominations, each with their own doctrinal statement with many points of disagreement. But while Christians disagree on a number of doctrines, there are key elements that cannot be denied by anyone claiming to be a follower of Jesus.

Jesus Christ did not die on the cross so you and I could have a nice day. Ministers and teachers who water down the Gospel of Christ in order to make it more popular and appealing may be leading their fun-loving audiences down the road to eternal punishment. This book is John MacArthur's unflinching, unapologetic treatise on the modern tendency to alter the true message of Christianity in order to meet the whims and desires of a culture hoping for nonconfrontational messages, easy answers, and superficial commitments.

The Resurrection accounts of Jesus in the Gospels are the most dramatic and impactful stories ever told. One similarity unites each testimony - that none of his most loyal and steadfast followers could "see" it was him, back from the dead. The reason for this is at the very foundation of the Christian faith.

Story
The Puritans, as a body, have done more to elevate the national character than any class of Englishmen that ever lived. Ardent lovers of civil liberty, and ready to die in its defense - mighty at the council board, and no less mighty in the battlefield - feared abroad throughout Europe, and invincible at home while united - great with their pens, and no less great with their swords - fearing God very much, and fearing men very little - they were a generation of men who have never received from their country the honor that they deserve.

Dr. Scot McKnight answers these questions and more in this comprehensive examination of what the Bible says about this divinely important but often confusing member of the Trinity.

Right now, Truth is under attack, and much is at stake. Christians are caught in the crossfire of alternative Christian histories, emerging faulty texts, and a cultural push to eliminate absolute Truth altogether. As a result, many churches and Christians have been deceived. Worse still, they propagate the deception that poses itself as Truth!

World-renowned Jesus scholar Marcus J. Borg shows how we can live passionately as Christians in today's world by practicing the vital elements of Christian faith.

Story
Most Christians would agree that the Bible provides a basis for mission. But Christopher Wright boldly maintains that mission is bigger than that - there is in fact a missional basis for the Bible. The entire Bible is generated by and is all about God's mission. In order to understand the Bible, we need a missional hermeneutic of the Bible, an interpretive perspective that is in tune with this great missional theme. We need to see the "big picture" of God's mission and how the familiar bits and pieces fit into the grand narrative of Scripture.

In The Day the Revolution Began, N. T. Wright once again challenges commonly held Christian beliefs, as he did in Surprised by Hope. Demonstrating the rigorous intellect and breathtaking knowledge that have long defined his work, Wright argues that Jesus' death on the cross was not only to absolve us of our sins, it was actually the beginning of a revolution commissioning the Christian faithful to a new vocation - a royal priesthood responsible for restoring and reconciling all of God's creation.

A Must Read
I highly recommend you read this book! I have often listened to Michael Youssef preach on the radio, but this is the first book of his that I have read. This book delivers a rallying cry to contend for the Christian faith (Jude 1:3). Enjoy and pass it on 😀!

“Saving Christianity?“ speaks the TRUTH in love…
“Saving Christianity?“ paints a clear picture of the dangerous anti-Christian apostasy that is happening in too many churches.
May we, as Dr. Youssef leads and encourages us, pray and work to return the church to her solid Biblical foundation:
1) that we are saved by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, and
2) that God’s Word is true, complete, and inerrant – the final authority for every area of life.

Holy Spirit led Book
Thank you God for guiding pastor Youssef to write this book. This was a Holy Spirit guided book.
It is important to have a statement that clearly says it as it is in Truth and Love.
Satan’s best ploy is to infiltrate slowly but surely and destroy lives and churches. But God’s Love always wins.
God’s Grace through Jesus the Christ is the only way to Salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9.

Well organized, not well argued.
The author does a good job of using the Apostles Creed as a framework for his book. This is a better framework than Alysa Childer's "Another Gospel". He succeeds in identifying a troubling pattern of blaming Christianity for all the woes of the world. However, like Childer's, he fails to articulate arguments that are as robust as the so called "progressive christians" he is critiquing. He inasmuch as admits that he says nothing new. Unfortunately, this means that his argument will only persuade those who are already persuaded to think like he does. This will not bridge any gaps. He certainly sticks to his uncompromising position, but this book sounds like an echo chamber. I trust Youssef loves Christ and the so called "progressive christians" but his arguments need to be refined with more research and deeper study on the topics he is addressing. That is the appeal of what he labels "progressive Christianity", a thorough searching and fearless questioning of sacred cows. If we believe Christ is who he claims to be and we have met Him, then our fearless questioning, like Thomas the Apostle, should be welcomed in our churches because of our confidence in Christ, rather than the fear mongering "slippery slope" accusations he is espousing. I contend that if all our Churches were willing to open up the dialogue the mass.exodus would not be happening. Onto his arguments: He is wrong about Christian universalism, reducing it to "Jesus doesn't matter", when in fact their is an astounding amount of solid literature and historical weight to the eschatological position held by many in the patristic period. He is wrong to assume that Penal Substitutionary Atonement is the only orthodox atonement theory, overlooking Christus Victor and many others. He is naive to assume that the literalism ascribed to evangelicalism by so called "progressive Christians" has never run aground in overly wooden interpretation. Christ is the Word , and the words of the Bible are inspired signposts that point to Christ, but inerrancy and infallibility are unhelpful categories. The patristic writings only ever referred to God as infallible, so when we speak this way we not only confuse ourselves but we confuse our children who begin to conflate the Word (Jesus) with the Bible. They are not the same. Interpretation is also not as clear cut as he likes to make it. It takes almost no time at all to realize biblical interpretation is an ocean of mystery, learning, and lessons in humility. Rhetoric, metaphor, and literary devices are all over the text. In many cases "the Bible clearly says" is just wrong. Christ is the full revelation about himself, and all scripture mist be read through that lens. Brad Jersak is much better here in "A More Christlike Word", but Youssef would probably call Jersak a progressive Christian. That's the danger of holding a hammer: everything begins to look like a nail. I could say the same for so called "progressive christians" as well: we need not destroy the faith to rediscover and restore it to it's beautiful historic heritage. We certainly ought to reevaluate our current doctrines against the early church fathers and mother's and lean on recent historical research when needed. We also need to be led by the Spirit AND remain in our Churches, loving the assembly and urging them to consider a new set of lenses. There needs to be a better response that what Childer's and Youssef have put together. is anyone up to the task?

Wonderfully Biblical (with caveats)
With two exceptions the work is totally biblical. Fundamental Christianity. Very well presented & organized to follow beginning to end. 1- mislabels Greek “pisteo” to include a prayer, a confession, and a lifestyle change. 2- misleads spirituality as being a dedication or lifestyle change, instead of a status quo by simple confession of sin (1 Joh 1:9) back into fellowship with God & with other believers (1 Joh 1:3, 6, 7).
