About this title

Review:

."..Very thought provoking."--Greater Than Magazine

"Brian McLaren, considered one of the more articulate leaders in the emergent church, has a lot of questions. And he hopes Christians won't avoid those questions. In his new book, A New Kind of Christianity, McLaren questions conventional truths and calls for a major overhaul of the Christian faith."--The Christian Post

"Christians must be unlocked from'a prison' of long-held assumptions and have the freedom to ask honest questions, Brian McLaren indicates in his newest book, A New Kind of Christianity. He's not advocating for a new set of beliefs, he says, but rather a 'new way of believing.'"--The Christian Post

."..Reading a Brian McLaren book is not for the theologically faint of heart... McLaren calls the church to a deeper and broader vision of the gospel that makes room for contemporary issues of justice and reconciliation"--UrbanFaith.com

."..A New Kind of Christianity is incredibly well written, engaging, thoughtful and provoking....one of the most significant conversations that will shape Christianity for years to come."--The Faithful Reader

"A new reformation is taking place in Christianity. Brian McLaren is one of its leading voices and A New Kind of Christianity is a roadmap for this reformation. This is a very important book."--Adam Hamilton, author of Seeing Gray in a World of Black and White and Senior Pastor, The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection.

"McLaren has become an important and controversial figure in Christian thought.... Structured around 10 basic questions about the faith, the book will provoke debate. And it should-these are important questions worthy of our thought and (loving) discussion."--Relevant Magazine

"McLaren is advocating a different, perhaps upgraded form of Christianity that takes a more objective view of history and employs a better interpretation of the Bible, ... rendering it more applicable and accessible to a modern, educated people."--Huffington Post

"McLaren clearly has been asking important questions about Christian witness for decades.... A New Kind of Christianity continues McLaren's project of assessing and reassessing our assumptions concerning the foundations of modern Christian practice by asking ten important questions about the pillars of the Christian faith."--The Other Journal

"Now and then gifted people emerge who see the situation from a higher and more helpful level. Brian McLaren is one of those seers."--Richard Rohr, author of Everything Belongs
