Bob, I liked them both. I think mclaren was more "teaching" and less character study. I'm looking forward to your review.

Mike,

I'm almost done with it, but you'll have to wait until the review appears in the Christian Century. My thoughts are a bit different -- not so much on the content but the backdrop.

As for McLaren, I suppose it's because I'd already passed through those phases in my own journey that I didn't find his novels all that enlightening. What is interesting is that you compare Borg favorably as a novelist over McLaren who is a former English prof.

atimetorend,

I think Borg did a better job at actually writing a novel than McLaren. I was shocked at how well his writing flowed and the character development was wonderful. Not what you'd expect from a biblical scholar.

It's a "teaching novel" so the storyline isn't exactly stellar. However, my wife just finished the book and she loved it too. She read it over a weekend and it usually takes her a month to wade through a book. It's a treat. Buy it.

I read and enjoyed "A new kind of Christian," and while I found the fiction-form of the teaching to be effective, I felt it fell short as far as novel or story telling goes. How would you compare Borg's story telling to McLaren's?

I do think I will pick up a copy, thanks for the review.
