Hey Guys,
The link above is for a tremendous article by Kevin DeYoung reviewing McLaren's book "A New Kind of Christian." Read part one to get his summary of the book.
Two quick thoughts:
1. Theology is important...really important. I have read a few parts of McLaren's book and it is very easy to see why his writing appeals to people. While they are enticing thoughts, they are almost entirely misrepresentations of orthodox theology and shoddy exegesis of the Biblical texts.
2. I was hit by the weight of this error after reading the review. There are thousands of people who have bought into this misrepresentation of the Gospel. McLaren makes Jesus out to be a lot of things, but refuses to make him our sin-bearer. In short, a new kind of Christian loves the wrong Jesus.
I would love to read your thoughts about this.
