An Atheist's Introduction to Shane Claiborne
Zack Exley (from Revolution in Jesusland) has started an interesting “book review for atheists” on Shane Claiborne’s new book Jesus for President, posted over on the Huffington Post.
Part one is an introduction to Shane Claiborne himself: “Shane has been fearlessly, creatively and lovingly preaching that gospel of resistance from inside of mainstream Christianity. He doesn’t stand on the outside criticizing and condemning. As a result, people listen. ...
“Shane has become one of the most famous and effective voices in this continuation and transformation of the church. ... Christians recognize him as a prophet. And even the crankiest of conservative preachers knows that a prophet’s job is to say things people don’t want to hear. In that way, a certain kind of radicalism is built into Christianity. And Shane is taking it about as far as it goes.”
