Everything Must Change: Jesus, Global Crises, and a Revolution of Hope
by Brian D. Mclaren

Everything Must Change: Jesus, Global Crises, and a Revolution of Hope Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

What do the life and teaching of Jesus have to say about the most critical global problems in our world today?

Acclaimed author and Emergent church leader Brian McLaren states, More and more Christian leaders are beginning to realize that for the millions of young adults who have recently dropped out of church, Christianity is a failed religion. Why? Because it has specialized in dealing with 'spiritual needs' to the exclusion of physical and social needs. It has focused on 'me' and 'my eternal destiny, ' but it has failed to address the dominant societal and global realities of their lifetime: systemic injustice, poverty, and dysfunction.

McLaren asks, Shouldn't a message purporting to be the best news in the world be doing better than this? What he sets forth in this provocative, unsettling work is a form of Christian faith that is holistic, integral, balanced, that offers good news for both the living and the dying, that speaks of God's grace at work both in this life and the life to come, both to individuals and to societies and the planet as a whole.

Review:

"McLaren, a leader in the emerging church, issues a salvo of arguments for 'radical hope' in the face of profound dilemmas. The prolific author and pastor identifies the earth's 'four deep dysfunctions' that have created a 'suicide machine': crises in prosperity, equity, security and spirituality. 'What could change,' he asks, 'if we applied the message of Jesus — the good news of the kingdom of God — to the world's greatest problems?' Here McLaren builds on the theme of his 2006 book The Secret Message of Jesus — that bringing about the kingdom means transforming the world we live in — to propose that we create a 'hope insurgency.' Using a close reading of the Gospels to challenge conservative evangelicals' emphasis on individual salvation, not to mention end-times theology and, by implication, the prosperity gospel, McLaren argues for establishing a 'beloved community' based on justice, peace, equality and compassion. McLaren's conclusions are not new, but his ability to be clear and persuasive — and get the attention of a segment of America's Christians — are exceptional. While his critics will find yet more material for challenging McLaren's views, his supporters will consider this book a riveting call to a new conversion."
