RLC: Give us one other discovery, something that was a fresh realization for you. Brian: I talked about historical, doctrinal, liturgical, and missional challenges we need to face.
There were so many new insights that came in each category. It has to do with the Trinity. As you probably know, the Doctrine of the Trinity has been used at different points in church history in some unsavory ways.
Heresy hunters used it to drive people from their homes, marginalize them, imprison them, and worse. It was the ultimate litmus test. Yet I see in the doctrine one of the most powerful arguments imaginable for respectful treatment of the other. So … the way the doctrine has been abused in history to persecute so-called heretics was in itself heretical, in that it violated the love and heart of the Trinity.
And not only that, it can become a way of relating — a practice, if you will. RLC: People can get the book through normal channels, right? Brian: Yes. RLC: One more question. Brian: One thing. I mentioned that I deal with historical, doctrinal, liturgical, and missional challenges. That, it turns out, was the focus of my previous book — Naked Spirituality , which talks about four stages of the spiritual life.
The added bonus was hearing him read the book which added depth, and meaning for me. One of the best audio books I have listened to, to which I will turn again, and highly recommend to religious and non-religious listeners.
Very good book, helpful to understand how we should treat each other no matter what faith we believe. I loved this book. So much of what the author said were things I have thought for years. To hear my thoughts from another person made me feel less alone in this religious world.
I consider this a must read and perhaps a few will get this as a Christmas gift. Brian McLaren makes me think. He pushes me to stretch and work my spiritual muscles. This book does that. I am more free to Love now. I've always known this Path and now I have a walking stick and water for the journey! Hearing this spoke directly to my true heart and what I always felt but didn't know how to say! Bravo and Praise Jesus who is love.
The book was every interesting and if the message is followed it would be a better world and we all would be much happier. Thought I was buying a reading book. Can this be changed to that? What do you think your next listen will be? Read, do not listen. Would you be willing to try another one of Brian D. Have read most og his books. Any additional comments?
