A New Kind of Christianity
I’m looking forward to Brian McLaren’s upcoming book, A New Kind of Christianity. McLaren has been very helpful to me over the years, so I’m looking forward to reading where his thoughts are going these days. And he’ll be coming to Waco/Baylor in March, so hopefully I’ll have the chance to interact with him personally. Here are the ten questions McLaren explores in the new book - questions he believes are shaping the faith today.
1. The Narrative Question: What Is the Overarching Storyline of the Bible?
2. The Authority Question: How Should the Bible Be Understood?
3. The God Question: Is God Violent?
4. The Jesus Question: Who is Jesus and Why is He Important?
5. The Gospel Question: What Is the Gospel?
6. The Church Question: What Do We Do About the Church?
7. The Sex Question: Can We Find a Way to Address Sexuality Without Fighting About It?
8. The Future Question: Can We Find a Better Way of View the Future?
9. The Pluralism Question: How Should Followers of Jesus Relate to People of Other Religions?
10. The What Do We Do Now Question: How Can We Translate Our Quest into Action?
