“Although I believe in Jesus as my personal savior, I am not a Christian for that reason. I am a Christian because I believe that Jesus is the Savior of the whole world.”
- Brian McLaren, A Generous Orthodoxy (2004), p.100
“I think our definition of ’saved’ is shrunken and freeze-dried by modernity. We need a postmodern consideration of what salvation means, something beyond an individualized and consumeristic version. I may have a personal home, personal car, personal computer, personal identification number, personal digital assistant, personal hot tub - all I need now is personal salvation from my own personal savior.”
- Brian McLaren, A New Kind of Christian (2001), p.130
