Publisher Description

After 343,203 online votes on the Mars Hill Church website, nine questions for Pastor Mark Driscoll emerged as the ones most urgently calling for answers.

Inspired by 1 Corinthians, in which Paul answers a series of questions posed by the people in the Corinthian church, Pastor Mark Driscoll set out to determine the most controversial questions among visitors to the Mars Hill Church website. In the end, 893 questions were asked and 343,203 votes were cast. The top nine questions are now each answered in a chapter of Religion Saves.

After an introductory chapter devoted to the misconception that religion is what saves us, Driscoll tackles nine issues: birth control, humor, predestination, grace, sexual sin, faith and works, dating, the emerging church, and the regulative principle.

Because the purpose of this book is to address commonly asked questions, all readers will find relevant, engaging material, written in Driscoll's distinctively edgy yet theologically sound style.

"I don't think I'd have enjoyed reading this book as much as I enjoyed listening to Mark Driscoll read it. He's a good speaker, and I enjoy him. (I know not everyone does.) He answers 9 questions submitted by attenders of his church and listeners online. The topics range from predestination and emergent theology to humor and sex. He's a little more Calvinist than I'm quite ready to be, but I still think he's got great things to say."

    " Decent book. Somewhat helpful on some topics, not so much on others. I like Driscoll, and he's an engaging writer, but because he's answering questions, it's pretty dry reading overall. I probably wouldn't recommend this book to anyone, but it's not terrible. "

    " Excellent theology, engaging writing. This book is great because you can just pick the chapter/subject you are interested in. A great little resource on the Christian life and some of the hotly debated points of theology in American Christianity. "

    " In true Mark Driscoll form, you feel as though he is there talking to you. He tackles the hard questions with bible verses, clear resources and life applications. From the Emergant Church, Dating, Sex, Grace - he answers each question with biblical discernment. "

    " Pastor Mark does some excellent short dissections of the top ten asked for, voted on, talked about, controversy inducing theological or not so questions from his congregation. The Faith and Works chapter is the best of the bunch, along with his chapter on the Emerging Church. "
