Editorial Reviews

Praise for Jesus Was a Liberal: Reclaiming Christianity for All:

“McLennan’s writing is that of a thoughtful scholar. . .This book will reward any reader with an open mind and a curiosity about the breadth of the Christian faith.” — Library Journal

“McLennan’s presentation is remarkably thoughtful, respectful, and balanced as he argues that liberal Christianity is a vital expression of faith.” — Publishers Weekly

“An immensely readable book that reclaims the honorable word ‘liberal’ for a vision of Christianity that is persuasive, compelling, and faithful.” – Marcus J. Borg, author of The Heart of Christianity and Jesus: The Life, Teaching and Relevance of a Religious Revolutionary

“A wonderfully readable and very timely book. It makes Jesus available again, as he has been at many times in history, to a much wider spectrum of people, and not just ‘liberals.’ Will be appreciated by those who want to ‘conserve’ what he stood for, taught and died for.” – Harvey Cox, author of When Jesus Came to Harvard and The Future of Faith

“A clear-eyed, hopeful manifesto of belief, written with style and integrity. At last – the progressive case for faith, powerfully made.”–James Carroll, author of Practicing Catholic
