About This Book

Urban Legends of Theology by Michael Wittmer tackles commonly held beliefs that are misconceptions of Christian teaching, gently demonstrating a more accurate understanding of each one.

Our Review

This insightful guide tackles the theological myths and misconceptions that often circulate in Christian circles, examining everything from "once saved, always saved" to the idea that God helps those who help themselves. Michael E. Wittmer approaches these doctrinal urban legends with a scholar's precision and a pastor's heart, carefully dismantling each one by contrasting popular belief with scriptural evidence and historical Christian thought.

What makes this book so compelling is its direct engagement with the very questions and assumptions that can quietly unsettle a believer's faith. It's an ideal resource for anyone who has ever wondered if a commonly heard spiritual platitude is truly biblical or for small groups ready to move beyond surface-level discussions. By replacing shaky spiritual folklore with a robust, grace-filled orthodoxy, this book provides a solid foundation for a more confident and mature faith.
