Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and Mohammed Cross the Road? by Brian D Mclaren
Can you be a committed Christian without having to condemn or convert people of other faiths? Is it possible to affirm other religious traditions without watering down your own?
In his most important book yet, widely acclaimed author and speaker Brian McLaren proposes a new faith alternative, one built on "benevolence and solidarity rather than rivalry and hostility." This way of being Christian is strong but doesn't strong-arm anyone, going beyond mere tolerance to vigorous hospitality toward, interest in, and collaboration with the other.
Blending history, narrative, and brilliant insight, McLaren shows readers step-by-step how to reclaim this strong-benevolent faith, challenging us to stop creating barriers in the name of God and learn how affirming other religions can strengthen our commitment to our own. And in doing so, he invites Christians to become more Christ-like than ever before.
McLaren is a public theologian, author, lecturer, and activist. Brian spent over 20 years in the Baltimore-Washington DC area as a church planter, pastor, and networker after teaching college English. In the United States, he is a popular conference speaker and frequent guest lecturer at denominational and ecumenical leadership conferences. He is Theologian-in-Residence at Life in the Trinity Ministry, both domestically and globally. Brian's acclaimed A New Type of Christian trilogy, A Generous Orthodoxy, and his most recent works, Naked Spirituality: A Life with God in 12 Easy Words (2011) and the eBook prequel to this title, The Girl with the Dove Tattoo (June 2012), span over a dozen novels.
Brian is a popular blogger, singer, and outdoor enthusiast who appears frequently on television, radio, and news media programs. Visit his website, www.brianmclaren.net, for additional information. Brian is married to Grace and has four grown children with her.
