New Kind of Christianity

There has been some hot reading material posted to a couple of my favorite sites over the past few of days. This is all focused around Brian McLaren's new book, he is one of the "popular" names in the more "extreme" end of the Emergent Church movement.

This is what Greg Koukl concluded in his review. You can see the whole article at:

McLaren's New Kind of Christianity Is Old and False
If it doesn't come up check his blog of Feb 23rd.

Peace and love are valuable qualities, but they aren’t to be pursued at the expense of the truth. If the Christianity Brian McLaren recommends is a false one, as I believe it is, then his Christianity leaves people in their sin, unreconciled to God. That isn’t a peaceful or loving state to be left in for eternity. It’s not peaceful and loving to offer a false message of safety. McLaren’s message has a pleasant veneer, but it’s a false one. It’s not Christianity. It’s not what the Bible teaches.

A new article by Greg on a similar false teaching is relevant here.

If you have not read the Jan/Feb eJournal from the IX Marks site that would be good material for further reading. See Feb 18th posting below.
