In an age when faith is redefined through politics and sermons sound like campaign speeches, The Counterfeit Kingdom delivers a clear, fearless response.
Through the lens of forensic theology?a framework testing every idea for biological, psychological, and theological coherence?author David Price dissects the ideology of progressive Christianity and its transformation of the Gospel into activism.
This book exposes how words like love, justice, grace, and truth were quietly rewritten, how the Church was lured into bureaucracy disguised as compassion, and how believers can recover spiritual coherence in an incoherent world.
From the birth of the 20th-century Social Gospel to the present moral politics of "Christian progressivism," Price traces the lineage of a counterfeit faith that promises heaven on earth while denying the Cross that makes heaven possible.
But The Counterfeit Kingdom is not a book of despair?it's a roadmap to restoration.
Each chapter moves from diagnosis to renewal, culminating in ten practical steps local churches can use to reclaim biblical truth, rebuild authentic community, and restore awe to worship.
If you've ever felt the Church drifting from its anchor?or watched faith traded for social applause?this book will remind you of the difference between the imitation and the original.
