An Old Liberal Gospel for a New Postmodern Day For years Brian McLaren has been on a quest to reimagine the Christian faith in response to our emerging postmodern culture. While some have called him one of America's most influential Evangelicals, how evangelical is McLaren’s theology and how does it compare to the historic Christian faith? In The Gospel of Brian McLaren, Jeremy Bouma engages these questions head-on. As a former Emergent insider who left the movement after rediscovering the historic Christian faith, Bouma has dedicated his pastoral and academic work to helping people better understanding the theology of the Emergent Church. With a chapter from Reimagining the Kingdom—his book on Mclaren's theology of the Kingdom of God—and fresh content exploring McLaren’s newest book on religious pluralism, Bouma plumbs the depths of McLaren’s gospel with academic precision and pastoral care. In the end, this book will help you better understand how the gospel of Brian McLaren truly is a new kind of Christianity for a multi-faith world, which is no gospel at all.

Kopp, Steven

Who is the Jesus we're showing? What is the Story we're telling? These honest questions sit at the heart of this punchy, provocative book. In his debut title, Jeremy seeks to drive a conversation in the Church about how we show Jesus and tell His hopeful Story. If Jesus and His Story are what people have been waiting for their whole lives, why are so many people leaving Him and avoiding His people? Jeremy helps us understand why this is happening and what Christians can do about it. Newly revised and filled with discussion questions, the (un)offensive gospel of Jesus sketches a fresh portrait of God’s magical, revolutionary Story of Rescue and the good Jesus found in the Holy Scriptures. Through his own experience in the Church, conversations with friends, and an honest look at theology and the Bible, Jeremy explores how Jesus and His gospel are good, sweet news for all the world. Most of all, he helps us understand why both are more hopeful than many of us realize. ENDORSEMENTS: "Jeremy is a deep thinker; he's courageous enough to challenge some popular evangelicals and emergents today. Yet, this is not a screed: Jeremy loves the Church and has a passion for the ostracized and he tells us in this book that grace grinding is the not the way of Jesus and it is not the gospel Jesus preached." —Scot McKnight, Professor, Northern Seminary; Author, The Jesus Creed and The King Jesus Gospel "Jeremy had me at the title. With deep passion for the Church, a sharp awareness of the prevalent, hot, future-shaping emerging conversation, and the courage to slay a few sacred cows, he offers a compelling vision of Jesus and the Church's mission. Jeremy's debut book informs, disturbs, encourages, and challenges. Who is the Jesus we show to the world? What is the Story we tell? These two questions will never be the same for me."—John W. Frye, Pastor, Fellowship Covenant Church; Grand Rapids, MI; Author, Jesus the Pastor and Out of Print "While recognizing our fallen world with failing followers of Jesus, Jeremy paints a brilliant, honest, passionate and redeeming picture of the Christ who heals, speaks with authority and still changes the impossible. As we step back and gaze at this amazing portrait of a liberating magnetic Jesus I find good news, an (un)offensive Jesus, to whom I have too often shamefully been offensive."—Doug Fagerstrom, Former President, Grand Rapids Theological Seminary

"In this important guide, Jeremy Bouma explains how many who speak of the Kingdom of God do not mean what Jesus meant by it. If you are one who is attracted to the liberal gospel, this guide might just save your soul." -MICHAEL E. WITTMER, Grand Rapids Theological Seminary   In recent years the use of Kingdom of God language has markedly increased within evangelicalism, and rightly so, as the Kingdom is central to the teachings of Jesus. While recapturing this aspect of the Christian faith is a good thing, several scholars have noted similarities between such language and Protestant liberalism. These scholars, however, have not significantly explored these similarities or the impact liberal Kingdom grammar is having on evangelical notions of the Kingdom.   Reimagining the Kingdom traces the development of Kingdom grammar through four generations of liberalism-from Schleiermacher to Ritschl, Rauschenbusch, and Tillich-in order to understand how such grammar is affecting evangelical theology, particularly the variety espoused by so-called "Emergent" progressive evangelicals. By exploring how theological liberals define the human problem, understand that problem's solution, and interpret the nature of the One who bore that solution, this book reveals an inextricable link between progressive Emergent evangelicalism and Protestant liberalism.   As with liberal Kingdom grammar, progressive evangelicals ultimately urge people to place their faith in the way of Jesus-i.e. the Kingdom of God- rather than the person and work of Jesus. This is a significant departure from authentic, historic Christianity. Therefore, it is imperative that evangelicals understand the contours of liberal Kingdom grammar in order to understand how such grammar is affecting how some evangelicals understand, show, and tell the gospel itself.
