Having just read a review of the book Death By Love, by Mark Driscoll and Gerry Breshears I have shifted my reading to see if I can get through this. The book has been sitting on my shelf for a couple of months now as I knew that I would eventually have to read something by Driscoll. He’s an intriguing and enigmatic character within current North American Christian leadership. Driscoll resists classification and categorization. People want to call him emergent but he holds to some fairly conservative doctrines. Others want to call him evangelical but once again, in other areas he seems outside of this vein. I suspect that because he resists classification people do not trust him. People do not trust what they cannot put into a box or a category. That being said the world is changing and the lines between the boxes are blurring whether we like it or not. Things are becoming more nuanced and require a more detailed eye to be explained…personally I think this is a good thing, an iron sharpening thing.

 

Anyhow – if you’ve read the book let me know your thoughts. The review I read can be found here:
