The Secret Message of Jesus











Much like John Ortberg called a lot of his books "Dallas Willard for dummies" this most recent book from McLaren could best be called "NT Wright for dummies" at a lot of points.

Which isnt a bad thing. Not at all...that is in part what I think he was trying to accomplish.

But it is what it is.

Have you read it?

I don't know much about it, but read some anti-McLaren blogs about that book. One claims that McLaren believes the God's kingdom will have Muslims, Buddhists and other non-Christians. Is that true?

I know how shrill the blogs have been, so I won't take their word at face value, but I'm still curious

For those of us who haven't read NT Wright or McClaren's latest give us the paralells, please. :-)
