    Yeah, its funny isn’t it? James seemed pretty darned clear on this, if you aren’t actually living it, you don’t really believe it.

    Is it true that for some reason Luther didn’t want the book of James to be in the Bible?

    I saw Brian when he was here in NZ - had a bit of a chat as well. I msut say I`d give mim a B for discussing orthodoxy and an F for orthopraxy. He just doesnt seem to know how to communicate orthopraxy in our culture - or doesnt want to do it in case someone disagreed wiht him or got offended

    McLarn seems to be making a strong stereotype of the modern era. The same type of stereotype that has been made of him. I don’t know the whole story on this quote but I’d love to be filled in.

    I read Chapter 0 of McLaren’s “A generous orthodoxy” and it strikes me as so weird-arrogant that I can’t imagine why anyone would push through it to Chapter 1.
