Synopsis

What do the life and teaching of Jesus have to say about the most critical global problems in our world today? McLaren asks, “Shouldn’t a message purporting to be the best news in the world be doing better than this?” What he sets forth in this provocative, unsettling work is a “form of Christian faith that is holistic, integral, balanced, that offers good news for both the living and the dying, that speaks of God’s grace at work both in this life and the life to come, both to individuals and to societies and the planet as a whole.”

Goodreads review by Tim

I have mixed feelings about this book. Brian has had a great impact on me through his writings and in the very rich time I got to spend as a student of his at Fuller Seminary.

Goodreads review by Chad

A great and inspiring read. I really want to give this a 5-star rating, but the call to action that McLaren urges seems slightly undermined by the fact that he doesn't offer a lot of practical ways for us to contribute to his vision.
