The Almost Christian Discovered

Title: The Almost Christian Discovered

Author: By Matthew Mead, Foreword by John MacArthur

Available: June 5, 2008

Description: While “cheap grace” and “easy-believism” are relatively new terms, antinomianism is not. Martin Luther coined the phrase to refer to those who wanted all the benefits of salvation without any of the obligations. To those who looked to some external act for confirmation of a regenerate heart, the Puritans pointed to proper motives as well as proper conduct. To those who looked merely to their orthodox beliefs, the Puritans pointed out that the demons are orthodox in their creeds, but not in their conduct. Ever mindful not to stir up unnecessary doubts in weak believers, the Puritans, nevertheless, felt it imperative to awaken the carnal hypocrite out of his undeserved security.

Endorsements: “This is not balm for the emotions; it is food for the soul. Those looking for a tranquilizing devotional study will not be soothed by this book. People who have come to Christ only for what they can get out of Him will find no encouragement here. On the other hand, true believers who want to deepen their walk—even struggling Christians who are open to reproof and instruction—will find plenty of sustenance on these pages.” —John MacArthur
