My review of Brian McLaren's The Secret Message of Jesus The latest edition of Next Wave is out, and guess who's book review is the cover story? I don't believe I've ever had a book review make the cover of any publication before, so I'm naturally flattered. If I were a humble person, I'd be humbled, too.
Anyone who enjoys a good spiritual conspiracy theory ought to be interested in Brian D. McLaren’s new book, The Secret Message of Jesus: Uncovering the Truth That Could Change Everything(W Publishing Group, $19.99). The title itself – and that “secret message” phrase, so pregnant with hidden intrigue – will no doubt pique the curiosity of conspiracy theorists, modern-day gnostics, and fans of Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code. (Or, if not Da Vinci Code readers, then those faithful evangelicals who have read any of the dozens of Christian “responses” to it.)
