For those of you who, like me, are interested in thoughts coming from Emergent and particularly Brian McLaren, take a look at McLaren’s first of three posts on life, Emergent, and recent criticism of him.

While I don’t like everything McLaren has written (do I feel that way about anyone?), I find his writing provocative and engaging in ways that most contemporary Christian authors are not. If you’ve never read anything by him, go out and pick up A New Kind of Christian immediately and read it.
