News: Precipice Magazine: A Conversation with Brian McLaren

"I think that many of us from Evangelical backgrounds grew up with a sense of hopelessness about human history. We were taught to expect the return of Christ very soon, which entailed the destruction of the earth as we know it, with some new beginning on the other side, a new beginning characterized by radical discontinuity with this history. To care about earth's long-range future, then, became an act of unfaithfulness to God and the Bible. To invest in the earth's long-term survival seemed like a "humanist" thing to do. Thankfully, some Christians found ways to counteract this attitude of abandonment toward the earth and its history even within the "left behind" interpretive framework, but others of us still weren't satisfied."
Brian McLaren is one of the most influential, recognizable figures connected to the Emerging Church movement, a.k.a the emerging conversation. Specifically, Brian is involved with Emergent- one branch of the Emerging conversation that is helping to network people around the world in "a growing generative friendship among missional Christian leaders seeking to love our world in the Spirit of Jesus Christ".
Precipice Magazine recently had the opportunity to speak with Brian both about his new book the Secret Message of Jesus: Uncovering the Truth that Could Change Everything (click this link to buy the book) as well as to discuss issues pertinent to those of us involved within "the conversation".

(User Info | Send a Message) | Along with a fresh look at the kingdom, a number of people (from a variety of camps, many of which wouldn't agree with each other on many points) are realizing that many of the so-called apocalyptic passages in the gospels and the New Testament as a whole seem to find fulfillment in three related realities: a) the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 67-70, which included the end of the Temple and priestly sacrificial systems, and the continuity of a multi-cultural, Spirit-filled, globally-concerned community of faith.
Go Brian go!!! |
