First let me say that if you've read four books by McLaren you've got a much stronger stomach than me! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/puke.gif" alt="" /> While McLaren's a self-promoting hack, N.T. Wright is a tremendous scholar, and I pray that in time he will see and repent of his errors (of course I pray that McLaren will as well). After reading McLaren's books you deserve a break --- I recommend John MacArthur's Fool's Gold, which critically addresses the New Perspective on Paul, John Eldridge, Rick Warren, and a number of other questionable teachings and trends in contemporary evangelicalism (or just curl up with something good for your soul like Bunyan, Spurgeon, or Piper). Also, if McLaren is being actively promoted at your church, I think you need to consider going to another church. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/flee.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/igiveup.gif" alt="" />
