Do you ever look at how the Christian faith is being lived out in the new millennium and wonder if we're not doing what we're supposed to be doing? That we still haven't quite "gotten it?" That we've missed the point regarding many important issues?
It's understandable if we've relied on what we've been told to believe or what's widely accepted by the Christian community. But if we truley turned a constructive, critical eye toward our beliefs and vigorously questioned them and their origins, where would we find ourselves?
Bestselling authors Brian McLaren and Tony Campolo invite you to do just that. Join them on an adventure - one that's about uncovering and naming faulty conclusions, suppositions, and assumptions about the Christian faith. In Adventures in MIssing the Point, the authors take turns addressing how we've missed the point on crucial topics such as:
Salvation, The Bible, Being Postmodern, Worship, Homosexuality, Truth, and many more...
McLaren and Campolo are both skeptical and sympathetic as they describe the church in which they've spent their lifetimes preaching. And in the midst of boldly and lovingly describing the many areas in which the church has missed the point, the authors add fuel to the fire by commenting on each other's conclusions in their inimitable, unflinching fashions.
Yet in the end, Adventures in Missing the Point isn't about pointing fingers at "them" for their mistakes. It's not even about giving you the answers. It's about us. Professionals and lay-workers. Protestants and Catholics. Liberals and conservatives. Penecostals and Presbyterians. All of us, stretching our thinking and discovering what lies ahead.
