Five centuries ago, a monk named Martin Luther revolutionized the Christian world. He devised a new vision of Christianity in 95 theses, and nailed these theses to the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. The Reformation, as it came to be known, resulted in a schism between the Roman Catholics and what became known as Protestant Christianity.

Matthew Fox is a proponent of creation spirituality. In this book he moves toward the emerging church with a new spiritual vision that will focus not on religion, but on spirituality. He posted a new set of 95 theses that call for an end to the authoritarian, punitive tendencies that prevail in modern churches today. I believe that he will be known as one of the great prophetic voices of our time.
This is a good book, probably too liberal for Evangelicals in America.
