Liberal Christianity

For the millions of people who identify as liberal Christians. In McLennan's bold call to reclaim ownership of Christianity, he advocates a sense of religion based not on doctrinal readings of scripture but on the humanity behind Christ's teachings. He addresses such topics as intelligent design, abortion, same sex marriage, war. torture and much, much more. As he says in the Preface, "We liberal Christians know in our hearts that there is much more to life than seems to meet the rational eye of atheists; yet we find it hard to support supernatural claims about religion that fly in the face of scientific evidence."

"An immensely readable book that reclaims the honorable word 'liberal' for a vision of Christianity that is persuasive, compelling, and faithful." – Marcus J. Borg, author of The Heart of Christianity and Jesus: The Life, Teaching and Relevance of a Religious Revolutionary

"A clear-eyed, hopeful manifesto of belief, written with style and integrity. At last - the progressive case for faith, powerfully made." – James Carroll, author of Practicing Catholic 

"A wonderfully readable and very timely book.  It makes Jesus available again, as he has been at many times in history, to a much wider spectrum of people, and not just ‘liberals.’ Will be appreciated by those who want to ‘conserve’ what he stood for, taught and died for." – Harvey Cox, author of When Jesus Came to Harvard and The Future of Faith   

"[A] timely and powerfully-reasoned argument that it's time for liberals to reclaim ownership of Christ as he was -- an outlier, a passionate but rationalist revolutionary who spoke to the best in us." – Garry Trudeau, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Doonesbury
