Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha and Mohammed Cross the Road? by Brian D Mclaren
Is it possible to have a strong Christian identity, while remaining generous towards other faiths?
The thing I love about Brian is that he's kind and intelligent and funny and easy to talk to and in no time you're deep into conversation until it hits you: this man has a very, very radical messageHe actually believes that Jesus and his followers can change the world. This book is no exception - he starts with a joke but quickly you realize just how serious he is about doing what Jesus teaches us to do. Helpful, timely, and really, really inspiring. -- Rob Bell An extraordinary book: a thought-provoking introduction to one of the biggest challenges confronting the church in our globalised world, and a profoundly biblical and brave beginning to a Christ-centred cultural revolution. -- Rev Steve Chalke MBE, founder of Oasis Global & Stop The Traffik Brian McLaren is a genius in provoking - in a constructive way. You won't see relations among religions in the same way after you read this book. -- Miroslav Volf, Professor of Theology, Yale University I think Brian McLaren is a spiritual genius! Not only does he have the courage to say what must and can be said, but he says it with a deep knowledge of both Scriptures and Tradition, and then says it very well besides - in ways that both the ordinary layperson and the scholar can respect and understand. You can't get any better than that, which is why I call him a genius! -- Richard Rohr, O.F.M, Center for Action and Contemplation In its relationship to those who believe differently, Christian formation all too often takes shape with hostile reaction, or collapses into some washed out common denominator. Brian helps us recover, and explore a vital and exciting alternative. Of how learning from "others" of all persuasions, is possible and intrinsic to vibrant Christian identity. -- Jason Clark Mclaren has a sure, deft touch in his writing... Christian living like this- in the midst of all the challenges presented by our multi faith culture- can lead us only to a rich and generous orthodoxy -- The Church Times - Canon Percy
