Reading the comments below the article on Ben’s blog is even better than the article!
Tom – Yes, his comments section is getting quite lively on this one.
here’s a great response to witheringtons review http://www.paganchristianity.org/zensresponds1.htm I guess this is only the first part.
Tom (2) – I tried visiting your link but there is nothing there. I also went to the Pagan Christianity website but couldn’t find anything there either. If you find the correct link, please re-post it. Thanks. (P.S. – I added a “2” to your name to distinguish you from the first Tom who commented.)
Whoops, I found out what was wrong – there was an extra comma attached to your link. I removed it, and it’s working fine now.
The sequel to “Pagan Christianity?” is out now. It’s called “Reimagining Church”. It picks up where “Pagan Christianity” left off and continues the conversation. (“Pagan Christianity” was never meant to be a stand alone book; it’s part one of the conversation.) “Reimagining Church” is endorsed by Leonard Sweet, Shane Claiborne, Alan Hirsch, and many others. You can read a sample chapter at http://www.ReimaginingChurch.org. It’s also available on Amazon.com. Frank is also blogging now at http://frankviola.wordpress.com/
