When four religious leaders walk across the road,
it's not the beginning of a joke. It's the start of one of
the most important conversations in today's world.
Can you be a committed Christian without
having to condemn or convert people of other faiths? Is it
possible to affirm other religious traditions without
watering down your own?
In his most important book
yet, widely acclaimed author and speaker Brian McLaren
proposes a new faith alternative, one built on "benevolence
and solidarity rather than rivalry and hostility." This way
of being Christian is strong but doesn't strong-arm anyone,
going beyond mere tolerance to vigorous hospitality toward,
interest in, and collaboration with the other.
Blending history, narrative, and brilliant insight,
McLaren shows readers step-by-step how to reclaim this
strong-benevolent faith, challenging us to stop creating
barriers in the name of God and learn how affirming other
religions can strengthen our commitment to our own. And in
doing so, he invites Christians to become more Christ-like
than ever before.
