Michael Brown: Revolution in the Church

| October 16, 2003 | no comments

I found Brown’s book intriguing and thought provoking, however, I also found it shallow. His many diatribes, such as his attack on unions, I found to be distracting. Every writer has their personal opinions, but if they distract from the point, it is best to leave them out of the text. One of the challenges that radicals face is how to transform a society they find to be decadent with a new society that is not. What is the process? Too often the present day radical becomes the despot of tomorrow. Brown should have examined the process and provided some answers to Christians who do want to become more radical in their faith, but are uncertain on how to do it.
