Title: Not Sure
Review: I think McLaren is refreshing in that he takes us into the faith with honest questions. He is a relief to anyone who has gone to a church where the preaching consisted of inflexible dogma that didn't allow for questions. However, it's not really clear where McLaren ends up. If he casually adopts evolution and dismisses hell (in another book), exactly how does he make these theological decisions? What is his basis for deciding what is true and what isn't?Overall, I'd recommend this book to someone who had really been burned by church, but not to someone who had never been to church. I'm not sure that it would put seekers on the right path. Instead, I'd recommend James W. Miller's "God Scent" for seekers with authentic questions who didn't want an unbending viewpoint. Also Rob Bell's book.
