Modern Day Pharisee was written to address the importance of doctrine concerning God's people and operation in the church. Issues examined include law versus grace, the defining and operation of religion in the world, God's view of religion, Satan's strategy against the church, rightly dividing God's word in context, exposing false doctrine, and emphasizing the correct doctrine of the sufficiency of Jesus Christ. Confusion and misunderstandings of God's word has led many believers to frustration and bondage. It has also increased self-reliance and self-righteousness amongst Christians. Highlighted issues concerning doctrine include salvation by faith alone versus faith with deeds, the purpose of the Ten Commandments, the Gentiles and Jews, why Paul contradicts Jesus and James, the role of the rapture, and modern day issues Christians face today that come from bad teaching. The Pharisee mentality has plagued the church and has been a misrepresentation of God. It has turned many away from the faith. The Modern Day Pharisee will help Christians understand their Bible better by seeing the scriptures through proper context. It will decrease the unnecessary weight and stress that has been placed upon the believer from wrong teaching. It will lead to a more peaceful and restful relationship with God.
