My Review of "The Great Spiritual Migration"

Brian McLaren's newest book, The Great Spiritual Migration: How the World's Largest Religion is Seeking a Better Way to be Christian is by far his greatest book.  Here, McClaren gives a clear voice for what a "new kind of Christian" actually looks like in a world fraught with a number of imminent ecological, economic, social, political, and spiritual crises.

Follows, McLaren writes, need a faith that abandons a punitive deity in favor of a creative god of love and nonviolence.

The Great Spiritual Migration is divided into three sections, each with study questions.  The first urges readers to move from dogma to a loving way of life; the second continues the theme by advocating for an "integral/literary" (nonliteral) view of the Bible; and the third begins to imagine how a new Christianity might look.

McLaren gives us a convincing view of what that Christianity might be.

This is not a book to be missed.

I received a free copy of this book as part of the Blogging for Books program in exchange for my honest review here.
