Title: Navigating the storm...
Review: I appreciated McLaren's story/argument in this book. I think all of us will need to navigate the stormy waters of transition between the modern and postmodern worlds. McLaren's travel-tips-for-the-journey are provocative and challenging. He sides neither completely with the conservatives (who don't see the whole biblical picture) nor with the liberals (who have a tough time explaining why the bible is even needed for life). Instead he charts a new course of struggle with faith, discipleship, and contemporary culture. A great read!!!If you want more scholarly stuff that undergirds his theological re-workings... read books by John H. Yoder, Stanley Hauerwas, James McClendon, and C.S. Lewis.
