"Ron Sider asserts that ""by their daily activity, most 'Christians' regularly commit treason. With their mouths they claim that Jesus is their Lord, but with their actions they demonstrate their allegiance to money, sex, and personal self-fulfillment."" In this candid and challenging book, Sider addresses an embarrassing reality: most Christians' lives are no different from the lives of their secular neighbors. Hedonism, materialism, racism, egotism, and many other undesirable traits are commonplace among Christians. Rather than simply a book bemoaning the state of Christianity today, The Scandal of the Evangelical Conscience offers readers solutions to repair the disconnect between belief and practice. While it's not easy medicine to take, this book is a much-needed prophetic call to transformed living."… (meer)

Once you get past the alarmist introduction, Sider really has a good proposal. I am appreciative of how he calls for a rethinking of the content of the gospel. His treatment of sin gives a good pause to consider how our oversimplification of the gospel has not served us as Christians. I'm not always convinced of the details, especially in terms of his treatment of homosexuality, but Sider's project is an overall good one. (

Many people like this book. I don't have much appetite for "Christian" books which alarm. I would prefer to read books that stimulate my appetite. (

"Evangelical Christians say they believe in biblical moral standards and the
power of God to transform lives - yet recent surveys show that most are not
living any differently than the rest of the world. From money to sex to racism
to personal self-fulfillment, a scandalous percentage of Christians are
violating biblical standards with barely a twinge of conviction. Sider takes a
painfully honest look at this disconnect to reveal the depth of the problem and
contrast it with biblical teaching on the transforming power of genuine faith.
When we apply these biblical teachings to our lives, we will be more suited to
close the gap between who we are and who God calls us to be." --back cover
