Pastor Dash has an insightful critique (and a good link) of Brian McLaren's new work. Darryl has so much patience for this kind of thing that I really depend on my brother to understand the issues better.
"A few years ago, I was struggling with some of the issues McLaren raises. But I found that some of the answers being proposed were less, not more, satisfying. I believe that our biggest need is not for a new Christianity, but instead to rediscover some of the contours of the gospel we may have forgotten. We don’t need a new contract; we need to “guard the good deposit” that’s been entrusted to us (2 Timothy 1:14).
We really don’t need a new kind of Christianity. We need to do a better job of rediscovering, and living in light of, the one we already have."
Thanks for the link, Paul. I'm not sure if it's patience or just not quitting when I probably should!
ReplyDeleteI believe I discern patience, brother!!

One of the best book reviews I have ever read.
ReplyDeleteThat McLaren is unambiguously a heretic.
