I got some pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/JoshAndJoanna/JesusForPresident I came into the event the same way- having read Irresistible Revolution but not Jesus for President. I found the whole presentation really interesting, & creative. I agree with your observations. It left me with a lot to think about. It's great to find another Grace blogger!

The difference between the Bible and a book bought in the bookstore is that the Bible is believed to be the divinely inspired Word of God. I don't like how Christians have turned into Pharisees by using Bible verses to judge people. At the same time, I don't want to diminish it's very importance. I mean, how would I know of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob if I hadn't read it in the Bible? Some people claim they can have a relationship with God without having read the Bible... but that merely makes someone a deist... believing in a God they created in their own head. But that's a discussion for another time. But I totally agree, I hate bibolatry. I’d agree with you to a point Andrew.

If only people would realize the same thing about the compilation of writings in the bible. I would go farther than Shane and call into question bibliolatry, not just materialism, nationalism, and individualism. “I’m glad that these guys are expressing their views, but I hope that people are asking questions and knowing that just because ‘I read it in a book,’ doesn’t make it true.”

To keep the post short, I didn't go much more in-depth. But many link Shane to the post-modern movement, which I like to make jokes about because I have a pastor who reads Brian McLaren, Rob Bell, Shane Claiborne and others. I'm glad that these guys are expressing their views, but I hope that people are asking questions and knowing that just because "I read it in a book," doesn't make it true. Just like a sponge absorbs water, the sponge can be twisted and the water dripped out. So even if people absorbed what Shane was saying, maybe they can hold onto the truths they heard and be discerning on the rest. :) But it's good to see how people are viewing Christianity, government, and socio-economic issues... which Shane does voice his opinion on. :) I totally agree Kirby.
