Generous Unorthodoxy
Brian McLaren's new book "A new kind of Christianity" asserts 19th century liberalism and ignores the creeds of historical Christianity." Here are the links to a couple solid review articles posted earlier this year by Scot McKnight and Tim Challies.

I agree with Scot McKnight's assessment of McLaren's evolutionary hermeneutic. The 19th century theology that McLaren is propagating is far from new. Though, it appears that the church is doing a good job of shelving this one, believing scholars and theologians must continue to point out the flaws of such a hermeneutic, lest the broken and susceptible believe and are led astray.
