The Silent Killers of the Faith: Overcoming Legalism and Performance Based ReligionLike poor driving, legalism is the 'other guy's' problem -- the idiot is always in the other car. Crosby delivers a powerful punch in this expose on legalism as he shows that is a problem for all of us. It is a silent killer and the author seeks to expose all of its treacherous tentacles. Legal and performance-based religion is the most prevalent, unrecognized, and deleterious malady affecting the individual believer and the Church universal. |
