Product Description

Review

"'Helps us see beyond various flat, partial gospels to a rich, gracious gospel that embraces all the others, and all of us too.' Brian McLaren '... a well-grounded introduction to some of Christianity's great themes in an appealingly contemporary style.' Publishers Weekly 'For too long, grace has been misunderstood as being nothing more than punishment avoidance. But God's grace was flourishing long before the first sin was ever committed. Scot McKnight, in his thoughtful and provocative way, helps us think again about the comprehensiveness of grace and the robust nature of the gospel. This is a book for people who want not only to be "saved" by grace, but to live by grace.' John Ortberg."


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.

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 review is from: Embracing Grace - A Gospel for all of us (Paperback)
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.
