Title: Great Analogy...no substance
Review: The author bases his argument(s) on analogies, which though good, are no foundation for solid belief. The philosophy espoused by this book, if embraced by Christians universally, would have key doctrines changing back and forth every week and no foundation (which he's opposed to).McLaren by living vicariously through humble Neo reveals an arrogance that is unparalleled. Neo knows everything. Neo has all the answers. Neo and his brilliance are the substitute for scripture.Not all of Neo's dissatisfaction w/the church is unwarranted or wrong, but it seems like just another emergent book which shows the problems of the church and seeks to lead the church down a path of nothingness to which eventually it would dissolve in to being a just nice place where everyone gets along by ignoring truth and the authority of scripture.
Is the review positive or negative?
