New for the Reading List: “Everything Must Change”

New (to me) & on the way: Everything Must Change: When the World's Biggest Problems and Jesus' Good News Collide by Brian McLaren.

The book is actually around three years old now. But I just ran across some reference that mentioned the book and how McLaren highlights the religious groups of the first century Jews paralleling with the modern political movements of today. I'd read enough about the book back when it came out to be an easy sell at this point.

By way of a less-than-nickel version, McLaren points out that since the movements of the first century Jews were not something that Jesus aligned himself with for his ministry, it seems that it shouldn't be hard to believe the current ones make for just as awful pairings today.

For McLaren's own introduction to the book, feel free to read here.
