James R. White, author of THE GOD WHO JUSTIFIES, and numerous other titles turns his attention to the Christian Pulpit in this hard-hitting book. It is the contention of the author that the pulpit in the average church is a place in which crimes are committed every week. White writes with a desire to expose false teaching but also seek to write in a way that will encourage those who are seeking to be faithful to God's Word each week. This is a must read for all who are called to stand behind the pulpit, as well as those who are called to sit each week and listen.

A great gift to give any preacher

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2014

If you preach (even if it's the occasional sermon only) and can't afford to go to seminary, this little book is a treasure. It addresses the most common errors most of us will fall into when interpreting the Bible and putting together a sermon. Mr. White's writing is funny and engaging, there's nothing dry about this book and there's a lot of wisdom and knowledge packed into it. I bought multiple copies of this book to give to friends who preach and teach God's Word.

Outstanding Book!

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2007

Verified Purchase

Dr. White has penned an outstanding work with Pulpit Crimes. He plainly discusses many of the issues that plague the western church. Dr. White does so in a loving manner, effectively rebuking those guilty of the crimes with Scripture as we are called to do. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who sees the professing Christian church as a rainbow of beliefs and positions. There is a reason for that, and as Mr. White correctly points out, it is due to a low view of Scripture.

It's a quick read (about 150 pages), and Mr. White's style, as with his other books is one that is entertaining, and pleasing to read. He explains any technical terms he utilizes, which always makes things easier.

A great book of warning for new Christians, and a source of tremendous insight to those who look at the church, either from the inside or out, and wonder what is going on with orthodoxy.

Dr. White exposes all the lies of the Devil that have entered into the Church. I pray that other Christians who may be sitting in a "Backsliding" Church read this book &loved are set free from the deception they are under.
GOD Bless Dr. White

This is the first book of this authors that I have read. I really enjoyed the book. I appreciate the author's candor about the abuses in churches right now. This book shows how different the church is from what God intended it to be according to His word. This would be a good read for all Christians. As a Christian, we should be more interested in pleasing God than in pleasing man. This book makes that point plainly.

Pulpit Crimes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

I have a feeling that James White and I would get on well! I like a writer who tells you what he really thinks rather than dressing it up in over diplomatic language, who is not enslaved by political correctness and who, above all, is passionately jealous for the word of God.

All of that is true in this plain speaking book which highlights some of the ways in the which the word of God and the pulpit are being abused.

As I read it I was reminded of an editorial I read just a few weeks ago in a church magazine. Commenting on a verse of Scripture, the author wrote, and I quote, "I've deliberately used the King James Version of this verse. To me, even though
it may not be an absolutely accurate rendering of the Hebrew, it captures a truth better than the NIV translation." In other words, as I read that, a "better" translation is one that fits what I want to say rather than an accurate one which more closely fits what God wanted to say."

White believes that the stakes in this are very high. "I have become convinced that nothing less than the very gospel of Jesus Christ is at stake when we speak of the proclamation of the gospel in preaching." (p11) "Could almost anything in this world terrify the heart of a believer more than the idea that I might make the cross of Jesus Christ my Lord void?...For a man who earnestly wishes to be a servant of Christ and honor him and be used to feed and protect Christ's sheep, what could be more repulsive, more abhorrent, than the idea that in my very proclamation I could be emptying the precious cross of Christ of its power?" (p12 referring to 1 Corinthians 1:17).

He begins with a couple of chapters in which he briefly expounds a number of texts in the New Testament, focussing on the Pastoral epistles which stress the importance and nature of faithful biblical preaching and then he draws up what he calls his "rap sheet" which is, for UK readers, the charge list. Each of these is then unpacked and explained in the remainder of the book:

prostitution - the `name it and claim it' teaching
pandering to pluralism - denying the uniqueness of Christ as the way of salvation
cowardice under fire - compromisng when attacked
entertainment without a licence - "entertainment has replaced worship, amusement has replaced the sober contemplation of God and his ways. This is a pulpit crime of immense proportions"
felonious eisegesis - the mishandling of the scriptural text
cross dressing - the role of women in the authoritative proclamation of God's word to the gathered congregation
pulpit fiction - the developing of personality cults
body count - the obsession with numbers
identity theft -"short-selling" the divinely instituted ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper
warranty fraud - easy believism

White's closing chapter, entitled Where are the Cops?, is a call to preachers and members of congregations to be faithful to the word and recognise "the importance the pulpit has in Christ's rulership of His church" (p59)

The author deliberately does not "name and shame", for fear of making the personality the issue, though sometimes, I confess, I found myself wishing he had done! However, almost without effort, you, like me, will undoubtedly be able to think of examples of culprits that would fit each of the crimes listed.

It was Michael Green who said that "the standard of preaching in the modern world is deplorable" and much of the reason for that can be found in the issues addressed in this book. Would that more of us were as willing as James White is to speak out and against those who are not the "faithful men" of 2 Timothy 2:2. Would that more preachers would sign Paul's preaching pledge: "...we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word". (2 Corinthians 4:2)

Very readable

Accessible, provides a concise description of what the pastoral office should be, and addresses the various 'pulpit crimes' and their implications in light of scripture. I enjoyed this book not only because it brings to light all sorts of problems wracking the pastorate throughout American evangelicalism, but also because Dr. White takes the time to write about how much good pastors need the support and encouragement of their congregations.
