The Christian story, from Genesis until now, is fundamentally aboutpeople on the move—outgrowing old, broken religious systems and embracingnew, more redemptive ways of life.
It’s time to move again.
Brian McLaren, a leading voice in contemporary religion, arguesthat— notwithstanding the dire headlines about the demise of faith and dropin church attendance—Christian faith is not dying. Rather, it is embarking ona once-in-an-era spiritual shift. For millions, the journey has alreadybegun.
Drawing from his work as global activist, pastor, and publictheologian, McLaren challenges readers to stop worrying, waiting, andindulging in nostalgia, and instead, to embrace the powerful newunderstandings that are reshaping the church. In The Great SpiritualMigration, he explores three profound shifts that define the change:
∙ Spiritually, growing numbers of Christians are moving away fromdefining themselves by lists of beliefs and toward a way of life defined bylove
∙ Theologically, believers are increasingly rejecting the image ofGod as a violent Supreme Being and embracing the image of God as the renewingSpirit at work in our world for the common good
∙ Missionally, the faithful are identifying less with organizedreligion and more with organizing religion—spiritual activists dedicated tohealing the planet, building peace, overcoming poverty and injustice, andcollaborating with other faiths to ensure a better future for all of us
With his trademark brilliance and compassion, McLaren invitesreaders to seize the moment and set out on the most significant spiritualpilgrimage of our time: to help Christianity become more Christian.
