Generous orthodoxy

I've been reading Brian McLaren latest work "A Generous Orthodoxy".

I just don't know how to describe his writings - I suppose that is part of what makes them so intruiging to me. I find myself not agreeing with everything he posits, but appreciate the way he stirs some of my deeply held (and sometimes totally irrational) theories and understanding of theology.
I love the way he thinks through strings of thought to their logical end and how he soaks everything he writes with a healthy dose of humility. I am so sick of reading authors who heretically stake a sign on their writings that says: "here is the way - walk ye in it". Surely that was Jesus role.

The non-profit I work with, International Teams, once had Brian as chairman of the board. He and wife Grace have spoken often at our refmin conferences. There is not a sniff of intellectual arrogance about the man - I admire that greatly.
