Paper Summary:
The paper discusses the book "A New Kind of Christian" by Brian D. McLaren, which elaborates on the various teachings of Jesus. The writer discusses the title of the book and how he interprets its meaning, the main argument in the book, and how McLaren advocates for Christianity.From the Paper:
"Aspects of Matthew that McLaren makes much of are: The Sermon on the Mount, the parables and the signs and wonders of Jesus. The Sermon on the Mount as found in Matthew 5 - 7 serves as instructions for how to live in the kingdom. "The heart of Jesus' teaching comes to us in a unique literary genre known as parable" (p. 43) (See Matthew 13 & 20). "...God's kingdom advances by stories, fictions, tales that are easily ignored and easily misunderstood" (p. 49). Having personally spent a number of years being a storyteller, the advancement of God's kingdom by this method is a concept I find fascinating. I am less familiar with the demonstration of the message by signs and wonders (miracles) (See Matthew 8 & 9). "It makes you think. It breaks all of your categories of what is possible and impossible" (p. 55). I suspect that my categories need adjusting!"More papers on "The Secret Message of Jesus":
