Evangelical Pharisees
The Gospel as Cure for the Church's Hypocrisy
In This Follow-Up to Gospel People, Michael Reeves Calls Evangelicals Away from Pharisaism to True 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. Unfortunately, pharisaism is still a problem among evangelicals today. How does Jesus instruct the church to recognize and defeat one of its deepest theological issues?
In this clear, compelling call to spiritual reformation, Michael Reeves helps believers reject pharisaism and embrace gospel integrity. Studying 3 essentials of Christian doctrine that the Pharisees misunderstood―their approach to Scripture, understanding of salvation, and disregard of regeneration―Reeves shows listeners how to embrace a biblical, Trinitarian, and creedal understanding of the gospel necessary for true reformation.
