| Summary: | As a key voice within the emerging church movement, Brian McLaren has thought widely and deeply about the challenges of Christian mission in a postmodern and pluralistic society. This article explores McLaren’s missiology through exploring three of its key themes: a stress on Jesus as a paradigm for mission, a focus on the kingdom of God as the object of mission, and a revision of doctrine for the sake of mission. While McLaren helpfully encourages Christians to work alongside other faiths in pursuing the common good, his vision for mission marginalises key features of the biblical witness, including its focus on Jesus’ redemptive work. |
