Well, then is a proper Christian approach to truth simply a chastened modernity, a humble objectivism? So Walsh and Keesmaat are asked in Colossians Remixed. |inline Read more

This week we are looking at the first of three global crises we face — security — and how Jesus’ message of the kingdom addresses such a crisis. Today we look at the two chps on the military story we find ourselves in in Brian McLaren’s Everything Must Change.

Greg Boyd, Justice and Replicating Calvary

Last updated on: October 17, 2007 at 12:20 am By Scot McKnight

UnChristian

Last updated on: October 16, 2007 at 12:15 am By Scot McKnight

We will begin a series next Tuesday on the new book by David Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons called unchristian. This book is about “what a new generation really thinks about Christianity.” The book reminds me of Dan Kimball’s fine book They Like Jesus but Not the Church, and is a fine complement to Dan’s book. Together they can be a wake-up call for many of us. Read more
