finished this book today. absolutely amazing. i experienced a wide range of reactions to his ideas: everything from wanting to throw the book out the window to standing up and cheering. in the next 2-3 years someone (rob bell?) will write the popular version of this thesis and everyone will be talking about it. important stuff...challenging stuff. his conclusion is very close to mcknight's in a community called atonement, but he comes at it from a different academic discipline. a must read for anyone who is in any type of position of influence.
