"Wherever the willingness to rethink has been squelched,
wherever that sense of quest has been buried under
convention and complacency, the Christian faith in all its
forms is in trouble. But even there, something is trying to
be born. Even now, right here, among us, inside you, inside
me. You may feel it as a curiosity, a desire for better
answers than you inherited so far. You may experience it as
frustration, knowing that there must be more to faith than
you currently know. You may know it as hope, hope that God
is seeking humble people whose hearts and lives can be the
womb of a better future. . . . In you, your family, your
faith community, and circles of friends, among people of
peace and faith everywhere, something is trying to be born."
—from A New Kind of Christianity We are in the midst of a paradigm shift in the church. Not
since the Reformation five centuries ago have so many
Christians come together to ask whether the church is in
sync with their deepest beliefs and commitments. These
believers range from evangelicals to mainline Protestants to
Catholics, and the person who best represents them is author
and pastor Brian McLaren. In this much anticipated book, McLaren examines ten
questions facing today's church—questions about how to
articulate the faith itself, the nature of its authority,
who God is, whether we have to understand Jesus through only
an ancient Greco-Roman lens, what exactly the good news is
that the gospel proclaims, how we understand the church and
all its varieties, why we are so preoccupied with sex, how
we should think of the future and people from other faiths,
and the most intimidating question of all: what do we do
next? Here you will find a provocative and enticing
introduction to the Christian faith of tomorrow.
