June 4, 2006 Class Intro

This is the first class that I taught on the Kingdom of God. I give a bit about my context and history in faith and talk about some of the writers and thinkers that have influenced me. Here are links to the books I refer to in class. When Bad Christians Happen to Good People by Dave Burchett A New Kind of Christian by Brian McLaren Adventures in Missing the Point by Brian McLaren and Tony Campolo The Challenge of Jesus by N.T. Wright Mere Discipleship by Lee Camp The Secret Message of Jesus by Brian McLaren I'll try to use this space for any notes that I have about the class. If you want to ask questions of me about the class or continue a discussion we didn't have time for in class, feel free to use the comments section here. Thanks.
