Yet, for reasons that the author goes into great detail about, they genuinely believe they are! He describes several types of Cultural Christians, like God-and-Country types and the Bible-belt in which God is often simply a kind of mascot. What makes this type different than the first two is that the Cultural Christian is blissfully unaware that they’re not even saved not even a real Christian. This is the type he spends most of the book dealing with. This person is also aware that they have contrary beliefs but they seem to get some pleasure is leading people astray for some reason.Įnter the Cultural Christian.

He then deals with the False Teacher who, well, teaches false things. Their goal is to pander and basically make people think they are one thing when they are not. The Hypocrite knows he is not really a Christian, but he uses Christian like things to earn some cultural or social advantage, like politicians who suddenly start quoting the Bible at campaign rallies once they get into the Bible belt.

For example, he discusses the Hypocrite, the False Teacher, and the Cultural Christian. The author breaks down this group into different types, which I found very insightful. In short, this is a book about false or what we might call professing Christians. But it doesn’t take but a few seconds more to have the “Aha moment” when you realize what the title is driving at. This book is fantastic! At first glance, the title of this book doesn’t make sense.
