I just finished reading McLaren's newest in the series. I am quite confused on where he comes out on the end about hell and eternality (new word if not allready), but other then that it was a great conclusion to a journey that has been one eye-opening experience for me. Whereas the other two books were thick with depth and loose on plot, this one became flipped around: thick on plot and little more loose in its theological depth.
Don't get me wrong here, it is still deep with insights, but done in a different fashion. The previous two were primarily based on the conversations, but the insights gained in this last one was through the lives of the characters and the plots throughout it all.
In the end, it is not as eye-opening as the first two books, but it gives a comforting conclusion. Through all of the deconstructing done in the first ones, I suppose it is important to end with one that could be a groundwork for future construction...
Whatever, it was an awesome read with a great story, I highly recommend it, now I have to go and re-read it..
