A confession and manifesto from a senior leader in the emerging church movement. A Generous Orthodoxycalls for a radical Christ-centered orthodoxy of faith and practice in a missional generous spirit. Brian McLaren argues for a post-liberal post-conservative post-protestant convergence which will stimulate lively interest and global conversation among thoughtful Christians from all traditions. In a sweeping exploration of belief author Brian McLaren takes us across the landscape of faith envisioning an orthodoxy that aims for Jesus is driven by love and is defined by missional intent. A Generous Orthodoxy rediscovers the mysterious and compelling ways that Jesus can be embraced across the entire Christian horizon. Rather than establishing what is and is not orthodox McLaren walks through the many traditions of faith bringing to the center a way of life that draws us closer to Christ and to each other. Whether you find yourself inside outside or somewhere on the fringe of Christianity A Generous Orthodoxy draws you toward a way of living that looks beyond the us/them paradigm to the blessed and ancient paradox of we.
