Way of Life: A Study Based on The Great Spiritual Migration

In The Great Spiritual Migration, Brian McLaren argues that in order to survive, Christianity must shift away from an outdated system of beliefs to a way of life based on love. In order to achieve this, McLaren outlines three migrations:

• spiritually, Christians focus less on doctrine and more on the abiding life of love made manifest in Jesus
• theologically, a new way of reading Scripture shifts away from literalism and toward a more generous, literary approach
• missionally, the new way of life leads to "organizing religion" rather than organized religion, in which spiritual activists are committed to ecological, economic, and interfaith concerns.
