The Gospel According to Brian

Brian McLaren is a leading figure in the Emergent Church movement. Claiming evangelical credentials he has steathily being distancing himself from evangelical beliefs for many years now - with the encouragement that others should do the same. His latest book continues this trend away from Biblical foundations...

Kevin De Young has reviewed the book HERE.

Anyone wanting to know where questioning and ditching unpopular Biblical doctrines ends up taking you - or who has a pastoral concern for protecting the church from false teaching should take time to read it.

As De Young says....
Brian McLaren is on a quest—“a quest for new ways to believe and new ways to live and serve faithfully in the way of Jesus, a quest for a new kind of Christian faith”. On this quest, McLaren raises and responds to ten questions.

Some may be thinking, “What’s wrong with this new kind of Christianity?”
Well, as it turns out, pretty much everything.

Totally agree. Mclaren is a classic example of 'laying hands suddenly on no man' just incase we become, 'involved in his sins'.

Thankfully McLaren's trajectory has now become so obvious and extreme that fewer are likely to be deceived and we should be in no doubt that McLaren is no innocent abroad, he is a 'deceiver'.

I wonder how prominent this book will be in our Christian bookshops? perhaps we should complain if it is.
