A New Kind of Christianity

A New Kind of Christianity is Brian D. McLaren’s much anticipated follow-up to his breakthrough work of the emergent-church movement, A New Kind of Christian. Named by Time magazine as one of America’s top 25 evangelicals, McLaren, along with such contemporaries as N.T. Wright, Jim Wallis, and Rob Bell, is one of the acknowledged leaders of a new generation of Christians who want to update their faith for current times while remaining true to the core message of Jesus. In this controversial and thought-provoking book, McLaren explores the questions that will determine the shape of Christianity for the next 500 years.

We are in the midst of a paradigm-shift in the church. Not since the Reformation five centuries ago have so many Christians come together to ask whether the church is in synch with their deepest beliefs and commitments. Called the "emergent" movement, these believers range from evangelical to mainline Protestant to even Catholic churches and the person who best represents them is author and pastor, Brian McLaren. In this much anticipated book, McLaren examines ten questions facing today's church - questions about how to articulate the faith itself, authority, God, Jesus, the nature of the gospel, the church, sex, the future, pluralism, and the most controversial: what do we do next? Here is the best- and perhaps, only - introduction to what the church will look like for its next five hundred years.
