A New Kind of Christianity: Ten Questions That Are Transforming the Faith Audiobook

" McLaren is good at asking questions and drawing others into dialogue. "

" Certainly challenging, not easy or comfortable reading for many but worth deeply reflecting on his thesis that Christianity must change. Our need is to rediscover what it means to follow Jesus and work for the Kingdom rather maintain a broken institution. A necessary book. "

" This book is not for the faint of heart as it will cause you to rethink everything you have ever held as truth regarding the Bible and God. However, keep in mind that if your "truth" can not with stand scrutinizing questions, is it really Truth? "

" McLaren is always provocative, but I frequently find that I agree with him. More exactly, I find that Brian has simply given voice to the convictions I find evolving in me, pushing me further along in that thinking-though process. "

" I feel that Brian McClaren's book was very in sync with my own thoughts about Christianity today. Would recommend to anyone wondering about Christianity in today's world and if there is a more inclusive way to love our Creator. "

" I'm not sure if I have found what I'm looking for or not, but this book presents a Christian faith I could believe in. A very good overview on emerging / progressive Christianity and the questions shaping it. "

" Although some of what he had to say was interesting his tone was condescending and his arguments were sometimes weak and very repetitive. "

" So much to think about.... "

" I disagree with so much of what he says but he makes convincing arguments. It's Matthew 4:1-11 all over again. "

" Sort of the theological underpinning of A New Kind of Christian from almost 10 years earlier. "

" Excellent - provides many ideas to think about and absorb. Need to read it more than once. "

" Good idea for a book, but for some reason the writing just didn't engage me. "

" Great ideas. Tough to stay interested. "

" Good questions on faith and culture "

" I liked the ideas in this book, but I felt the ideas were a bit over explained at times. The writing could have been stronger, and a little less dense. But this is a good read for those truly interested in thoughtful conversation about faith. "

" Interesting reading as an evangelical Christian describes a "new" way of approaching Christianity that closely resembles the faith I was raised with. Nevertheless, he articulated it in ways that I found useful and insightful. "

" This is an interesting and useful book to stimulate thinking in new ways; looks at church history from a viewpoint I hadn't considered before.... "

" Don't be put off by the introductory chapter, which is anecdotal and kind of boring. I was, and so I put off reading chapter 2 until today (3/15/11) where the real discussion of theology and philosophy begins. It's fabulous. "

" Excellent critique of our current practices as Christians and ways to change that to a more true world view. "

" I'm not sure if I have found what I'm looking for or not, but this book presents a Christian faith I could believe in. A very good overview on emerging / progressive Christianity and the questions shaping it. "

" Good questions on faith and culture "

" Great ideas. Tough to stay interested. "
