Product Description

Product Description
The message of the Bible, and the story of God, is actually much bigger - and better - than forgiveness from sins and getting to heaven. In Embracing Grace the author presents an understanding of our relationship with Jesus that takes in the whole range of Scripture, from the original Fall to the passion and resurrection of Christ.

About the Author
Scot McKnight is the Karl A. Olsson Professor in Religious Studies at North Park University, and the award-winning author of The Jesus Creed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing 'emerging' alternative to Rob Bell, 14 May 2009
By Daniel Petersen "Daniel Otto Jack Petersen" (Glasgow, Scotland, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book challenged me and widened my heart about how big the gospel is without all the exaggeration and invective one too often finds in the works of all the young cool folks trying to 'repaint' the Christian faith. (I'm only 35 myself and sing in punk bands and that sort of thing - so that's not a grumpy old man comment). McKnight wisely brings together Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant Evangelical traditions into a robust gospel that is about Community, Society, and Sinners - all of which are being redeemed and righted through Jesus' Incarnation, Cross, Resurrection, and Reign. Not that it makes him infallible but it helps to know he's a trained historian and theologian too, again unlike some of the voices making big claims about how to rightly read our Bibles in light of their ancient context.

Three criticisms would be: 1) his primary definition of 'sin' as 'individualism' is certainly original (vs. say the traditional view of the heart of sin being 'pride') but to me, not entirely convincing. 2) he is wise to emrace the many 'stories of atonement' rather than only one to the exclusion of others, but I think he needs to give far more weight and beauty to 'penal substitution'. 3) Mr Rogers!!?? I appreciate the point McKnight was trying to make, but Mr Rogers is just too ingratiatingly tepid a character for this reader to take seriously as a sustained illustration of Christ-like character. Maybe that's just me!

I look forward to reading more Scot McKnight and would recommend him to others.
