Publisher's Synopsis
An Old Liberal Gospel for a New Postmodern DayFor years Brian McLaren has been on a quest to reimagine the Christian faith in response to our emerging postmodern culture. While some have called him one of America's most influential Evangelicals, how evangelical is McLaren's theology and how does it compare to the historic Christian faith?
In The Gospel of Brian McLaren, Jeremy Bouma engages these questions head-on. As a former Emergent insider who left the movement after rediscovering the historic Christian faith, Bouma has dedicated his pastoral and academic work to helping people better understanding the theology of the Emergent Church. With a chapter from Reimagining the Kingdom-his book on Mclaren's theology of the Kingdom of God-and fresh content exploring McLaren's newest book on religious pluralism, Bouma plumbs the depths of McLaren's gospel with academic precision and pastoral care. In the end, this book will help you better understand how the gospel of Brian McLaren truly is a new kind of Christianity for a multi-faith world, which is no gospel at all.
