A Generous Orthodoxy
Well I have been reading the book A Generous Orthodoxy and if you haven't read it, I would highly recommend it. It is very well written I have found and it is full of some amazing stuff that really gets you to think. I am only a few chapters into it and I can already tell that it will be a book to challenge me. He asked the question "If Jesus were here today would he be christian?" and he said something interesting. He answered and said that he doesn't think Jesus would be caught dead being considered a christian. Today the way christian is defined and the way christians act. It was just an interesting thought the he stated and it got me thinking. All of this is to say if you haven't read the book then you should.

I love that book! I'd like to read it again sometime.
(Are you reading my copy, by the way? I know Janel had it)
That's great that you are reading that book. I haven't read that one, but i have read his "new kind of christian", and "the story we find ourselves in", along with another few that he helped write. He actually use to teach at the grad school that Autumn and i are going to. He stopped like a year or two ago... Anyway. I'll talk to you soon.
peace
