The Blue Parakeet is author Scot McKnight's compelling statement of how to read the Bible in a new evangelical generation. In reexamining the Bible, McKnight provides an exciting "New Way" that appeals to the millions in today's church who long to be authentic Christians but don't consider themselves theologically conservative or liberal.

In recent years, we've seen an increase in the number of Christians who are "deconstructing" their faith, critically analyzing Christianity and finding that it falls short. Many end up leaving behind the beliefs and commitments they formerly held. While many have written on how to reverse this trend, Scot McKnight and Tommy Preson Phillips believe that rather than dismissing these concerns we need to listen more carefully.Deconstructors are uncovering serious weaknesses in today's church--a renewed fundamentalism, toxic leadership, and legalistic thinking among them. Utilizing the results of recent studies by Pew, Gallup, and others, McKnight and Phillips take a careful look at what deconstructors are really saying, seeking to better understand why many are shedding elements of the faith and church of their youth but also engaging in a reconstruction process, finding Jesus afresh. They are losing their religion, but not losing Jesus.Filled with stories of those who have walked the path of deconstruction without losing their faith, Invisible Jesus is a prophetic call to examine ourselves and discern if the faith we practice and the church we belong to is really representative of the Jesus we follow. Each chapter looks at a different topic and offers biblical reflections that call for us to not only better listen, but to change how we live out our faith as followers of Jesus today.

Clever in its expression and stunning in its boldness, this daring approach to Scripture will challenge readers to experience God's Word anew without masking the distance between the text and modern readers"--

Building a body and mind that hungers for God. Is the practice of faith centered solely on the spirit? Is the body an enemy, or can it actually play a role in our pursuit of God? In this installation of the "Ancient Practices Series," Dr. Scot McKnight reconnects the spiritual and the physical through the discipline of fasting. The act of fasting, he says, should not be focused on results or used as a manipulative tool. It is a practice to be used in response to sacred moments, just as it has in the lives of God's people throughout history. McKnight gives us scriptural accounts of fasting, along with practical wisdom on benefits and pitfalls, when we should fast, and what happens to our bodies as a result. For those who have wondered how to grasp the value of this most misunderstood ancientpractice, this book is a comprehensive guide. A volume in the eight book classic series, "The Ancient Practices, " with a foreword by Phyllis Tickle, General Editor.

My TheologyThe world's leading Christian thinkers explain some of the principal tenets of their theological beliefs.'Peace is worth fighting for,' writes Scot McKnight. 'I don't witness to peace to win the world but to offer a Christian alternative to the 155 million deaths in twentieth-century wars. This small book records some of my journey.'Growing up in the Viet Nam era, living through periods of American conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan, and engaging with the ethics of war, gun control, the death penalty, abortion, and the inhumane treatment of prisoners, McKnight has developed a peace ethic that embodies the self-denial ethic of Jesus and demonstrates that warring and the Christian faith are incompatible.The Audacity of Peace describes his journey, with reference to key thinkers who have influenced him along the way.
