A Comedian's Guide to Theology by Thor Ramsey. Does anyone know anything about this book? He lists me as an influence, along with Brian McLaren, Donald Miller, and Shane Claiborne. Uh oh!
I have a passing familiarity with McLaren's work, and I find it contains much with which I would strongly disagree, but having read Claiborne's book "The Irresistible Revolution," it's not clear to me that he's sympathetic to something that could broadly be called post-modernism. So in what sense might Shane fit in with a McLaren?
Maybe this was a comedian's attempt at ironic humor!
