A New Kind of Christianity

A New Kind of Christianity:
10 Questions That Are Transforming the Faith
By Brian D. McLaren (HarperOne, 2010)

“When we are unlocked from our conventional paradigms regarding the biblical narrative, the Bible, God, Jesus and the Gospel, the formation of Christlike people of love naturally becomes the grand unifying preoccupation and mission of our churches. Churches, simply put, come to be communities that form Christ-like people who embody and communicate, in word and deed, the Good News of the kingdom of God … . And they do this not within an isolated or withdrawn religious subculture, not simply to create an idealized spiritual country club for their own benefit, but rather in the world as it is and for the world as it could be, as agents of transformation.” –Brian D. McLaren, from the book
