Doc, I hope you do not mind me doing this - I am going to put a plug in here for Michael Horton's new book Christless Christianity.
Set for release on Oct. 31, Christless Christianity deals with the so-called "alternative Gospel of the American Church". Having read the first chapter online, I sense that this will provide a much-needed glimpse into the areas in which much of the American church has strayed from the truth. Horton addresses issues such as the problem of moralistic preaching facing the church today, the danger of downplaying or ignoring doctrine, and the pervasiveness of self-centered Christianity. Since this work handles the topic of American Christianity, it will certainly be applicable in many ways to our understanding of modern Christian worship.
As good as this book looks, there is even more good news; if you pre-order it (before Oct. 31) you can get it for $10.00, 50% off the list price. Shipment is slated for the first week of November.
If you have a chance, read the the first chapter (http://tinyurl.com/3mqzuz) to get a taste for what it's like.
