"Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. But the man who loves God is known by God." - 1 Corinthians 8:1b-3

Book Review: "A New Kind of Christian" by Brian McLaren
A New Kind of Christian (2001) by Brian McLaren I have heard a lot of bad things about this book, which
caused me to be extremely surprised to find that I actually agree with
him on many counts. There are a lot of problems that I have with
Christianity as we know it, and what we've come to make our Christian
culture, and he addresses many of these things in this book. There are
some things that I definitely disagree with, and I have heard that since
this time Brian has gone on to universalism and some other theological
intricacies that I would disagree with, but I would strongly recommend
this book to anyone who struggles to separate Christianity from the
culture we find ourselves in and wonders how to reach out to a culture
that is rapidly changing.
