This is a great book written by Mark Driscoll and Gerry Breshears. Driscoll pastors the Mars Hill Church in Seattle, and Gerry is the Theology Department Head of Western Seminary.

There is one sentence on one page referring to "oneness" that looks like it was cut and pasted from Walter Martin's Kingdom of the Cults. It just looks out of place.

Otherwise, it is one of the best Christ-exalting books I've ever read.


Ps. I knew Gerry from seminary, so I emailed him about the reference to oneness in the book. He told me that it should have never gone to copy and didn't understand why it was there. (I still have the email).

If you want an edifying read about the God in Christ, pick it up!

That's to be expected, because Mark Driscoll also has weird "cut and paste" references to oneness doctrine in his sermons sometimes. He refers often to the "trinitarian God of the Bible", which I find strange. In one YT video he seriously misrepresented basic oneness doctrine in the same stereotypical manner that many of us misrepresent trinitarians as tritheists. It was almost comical, actually.

Anyway...I'm hoping I get the Kindle+accessories I requested for Christmas, and if so, I'll have to remember this book suggestion.

Miss B,
I thought I was reading a "oneness" book. The sentence even looked out of place.
Breshears is very open minded to oneness. The unthinkable happened in the bay area a few years ago when they (Western Seminary) added Jeff Garner (UPCI) as an adjunct prof at their No. Cali campus. Pretty cool.
