Is there a new trend among American Evangelicals to give up on Church? That's the thesis of a new book by Julia Duin, author of Quitting Church: Why the Faithful are Fleeing and What to do About It. On this program the hosts talk with the author and discuss the implications of her findings.

On this edition of the program the hosts take a look, not at the national Presidential elections, but at the biblical doctrine of election, and the lack of coverage that this crucial component to the idea of salvation by grace alone receives in Christian circles today. The White Horse Inn: "know what you believe and why you believe it."
Last week the hosts defined the boundaries of the Christian faith, but this week they will spend some time examining the substance of true faith and practice, specifically taking a look at the marks of a true church. How is one to tell a true church from a false church? Is this distinction even legitimate? That's what's on tap for the discussion this week on the White Horse Inn.
What is orthodoxy, and what beliefs are "beyond the pale?" Is there really such a thing as heresy? On this edition of the White Horse Inn the hosts take a look at the boundaries of orthodoxy, and the crucial role that creeds play in forming our understanding of the Christian faith.
On this edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts evaluate a new trend in popular culture, namely the pursuit of stupidity. But are contemporary churches challenging this trend, or capitulating to it? Tune in to find out.
Joining the White Horse Inn panel on this edition of the program is David Wells, professor at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and author of many books including No Place for Truth, and God in the Wasteland. On this program Dr. Wells discusses his most recent book, The Courage to be Protestant, which outlines the problems of contemporary Christianity, and encourages us to take refuge in the solas of the Reformation.
On this edition of the White Horse Inn, Michael Horton conducts a roundtable discussion on Christianity & Politics, with special guests D.G. Hart (author of A Secular Faith: Why Christianity Favors the Separation of Church & State), Dan Bryant (former Assistant Attorney General for the Department of Justice) and Neil McBride (a strategist for the Democratic Party).

Does the Bible teach the idea of a secret rapture before a seven year tribulation period? What is the origin of this view? On this edition of the White Horse Inn the hosts discuss various end-times scenarios, and evaluate them with the light of Scripture.
On this edition of the White Horse Inn, Michael Horton talks with R.C. Sproul, Chairman of Ligonier Ministries and author of numerous books including The Holiness of God, The Truth of the Cross, and Knowing Scripture. Mike & R.C. discuss many of the themes relating to the year-long WHI theme, "Christless Christianity," and evaluate the overall health of Evangelical Christianity.
In a country without a king, do we find it harder to believe in the sovereignty of God, and easier to believe in the will, power and choice of man? To what extent has our democratic spirit of "one man, one vote" contributed to the success of Arminianism throughout the history of this nation? On this edition of the White Horse Inn the hosts take a look at the corrosive effects of democracy on American Christianity.
Many argue that America has always been a Christian nation and that the founding fathers of our nation were Bible-believing Christians. But is this really the case? On this edition of the program the hosts explore the subject of Deism, particularly in the writings of America's founding fathers, but also in the life and practice of contemporary American Christianity.
In what ways has our American culture shaped the ways in which we think about the person and work of Christ? That's the focus of this edition of the White Horse Inn as Michael Horton talks with Stephen Nichols, author of Jesus: Made in America, recently published by Inter-Varsity Press.
Why do we go to Church? What is the purpose of worship? Are we there to serve God, or to be served? These questions and more will be discussed on this edition of the White Horse Inn with special guest Harold Senkbeil, author of Dying to Live and Sanctification: Christ in Action.
A recent study conducted by Willow Creek Community Church discovered that the most committed among their church members were the most vocal about the lack of theological depth, and were among the the most dissatisfied with the worship. Yet the conclusion to the report was that Willow Creek needs to do a better job encouraging their members to become "self-feeders." The hosts will discuss this report, and offer some conclusions of their own on this edition of the White Horse Inn.
In his recent book Revolution, George Barna suggests that Christians no longer need to join churches, but rather should simply look for life-coaches, and helpful information for spiritual growth via the internet. But can we simply do away with Church? What is the true role of the church? That's what's on tap this week at the White Horse Inn.
On this edition of the White Horse Inn the hosts discuss the influence of both Pelagianism and Gnosticism in the American religious landscape. And the net result is what they refer to as "the Glory Story." In contrast to the theology of glory, however, the hosts make a case for recovering a clear understanding of the "theology of the cross."
Why have the doctrines of grace been so difficult to take root in the American soil? What is it about the way we think and act as a people that makes Pelagianism so common, if not our very "default setting?" On this edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts will continue their discussion of Pelagianism, with a particular focus on its influence in American religion and practice.
Who was Pelagius and what did he teach about sin, grace and the gospel? Why have his views stayed with us through the centuries? On this edition of the White Horse Inn the hosts will discuss the history and influence of Pelagianism, as they continue their series Christless Christianity.
Do the messages of Jesus and Paul sometimes contradict one other? And what about James? Doesn't he teach that we are "justified by works, and not by faith alone"? Do various Biblical authors teach different theologies? That's what's on tap this week at the White Horse Inn.
