McLaren's Questions

In case you didn't get over to Tall Skinny Kiwi on Monday, Brian McLaren posed two questions:

“For you personally, is the gospel primarily information on how to avoid hell, largely but not exclusively for hell avoidance, partially but not mostly for it, peripherally for it, or not at all for it?”

“And if the primary purpose for the good news of Jesus is not to get individual souls out of hell after this life, what is its primary purpose?”

Those, I think, are two of the more important questions the book tries to raise - and I'd love to hear what your friends in the blogosphere are thinking about them.

I'd be interested in your responses. There are quite a lot over at Tall Skinny Kiwi, which you can read here.
