Description

In this much anticipated book, McLaren examines ten questions facing today’s church - questions about how to articulate the faith itself, the nature of its authority, who God is, whether we have to understand Jesus only through an ancient Greco-Roman lens, what exactly is the good news the gospel proclaims, how do we understand the church and all its varieties, why we are so preoccupied with sex, how do we think of the future and people from other faiths, and the most intimidating questions of all, 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.
