Many truths of Scripture are being distorted by a philosophy that places experience and emotions above the inerrant Word of God. That philosophy is called mysticism. Unfortunately, says Arthur L. Johnson, the misunderstandings spawned by mysticism have gained respectability within the evangelical community. Because mystics rely on subjective, private, spiritual experiences for guidance and wisdom, they diminish the authority of Scripture. Visions and spiritual encounters become more important than the truths found in God's Word. Though mysticism sounds like a cult, far removed from Christianity, it has had a profound effect on many Christians who have never heard of it. Dr. Johnson reveals how several fallacies prevalent in churches today have originated from mysticism. He will help you understand what mysticism is and how it started. And he will show you why it cannot be mixed with God's Word. Most important, Faith Misguided will help you identify the possible influence of mysticism in your church and in your life. And it will convince you of the importance and the sufficiency of God's Word. 248.22 Joh f Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 248.22 Joh f E92010820 Non Fiction 248.22 Joh f Faith_Misguided.jpg 28044 2014-11-13 14:39:41 2025-02-05 16:02:23 machine generated
