Rick Shrader‘s Review:

The first edition of this book was titled, Reinventing Your Church. You can tell by my use of this book in this month’s article that I think McLaren is off base. He looks at postmodernism as a missed opportunity to reinvent the church in a totally new light. Even our theology ought to be re-evaluated and placed in a softer, more give-and-take mode so as not to turn off today’s hearers. To McLaren, a spiritual Y2K really did happen and now the whole world has changed. But maybe all the world is like Hollywood too.
