American Christianity

2010 May 12

“The Latin hybrida, literally translated, is just that, a mongrel, the offspring of a tame sow and a wild boar. When the wild bull of American ambition is bred with a tame Christianity with no cross, the result is mongrel spirituality – a “Christian” with both the image of God and the crucified Savior lost in the cross-breeding. The distinctive element in the human is lost. The distinctive element in Jesus is lost. An antichrist?”

-Eugene Peterson, Practice Resurrection, page 93.

Do you practice a hybrid of Christianity?
