McLaren, Brian D. (2001). A New Kind of Christian: A Tale of Two Friends on a Spiritual Journey.  San Francisco: Jossey-Bass.

McLaren narrates ideas for a new form of Christianity through this fictional story.  The story follows a pastor who is lossing his faith and a science teacher who guides him in what it means to be a Christian in the Postmodern Age.  The story is a broad presentation of Postmodern Christianity and the process of moving into it from Modern Christianity.  What McLaren lacks as a fictional writer he makes up for with a creative outline of Postmodernity and how it affects faith perspective.  The work provides a particular summary of what the Emerging Church movement is all about and why it is so different from traditional (or Modern) manifestations of the church.  It also provides insight into the ways that information disemination is much different in the Postmodern Church.
