Chris- I too, am interested. I have read the book, and frankly, I was underwhelmed. It is just a lot of the kind of stuff that basically denies most of what the Bible has to say, unless Mr McLaren can get the doctrine to fit his left-leaning, politically-correct worldview.

Anyone interested in doing a "book club" around this book? If so, leave a comment
