Nomad Podcast Brian McLaren - Finding God in the Religion of Others (N59)
Brian McLaren is an internationally recognised and sort after author, speaker and activist. In this episode we're chatting with Brian about his latest challenging and provocative book that explores the vital topic of Christianity's relationship with other religions.
“We Christians already know how to do two things well: we know how to have a strong Christian identity that’s hostile toward people of other identities, and we know how to have a weak Christian identity that’s tolerant or benign toward people of other identities. That opens up a third option – is it possible that there could be a strong Christian identity that is benevolent toward people of other faiths?" - Brian McLaren
