hmnn …

Hopefully Derek will put some good questions on here … since I haven’t read the book, although I’m fairly familiar with the ideas. Here are a couple, though.

What might be some practical steps for leaders within traditional fellowships to transition from “pagan” systems to a more biblically based model?

How would the early church have viewed the modern Christian fascination with political activism (whether conservative or liberal)?

Can you actually PLAY the viola?

That should do to start.

Peace.

haha. i love the last one. thanks britt.

Josh those are good, make a list.

Also you can know exactly when the podcast will go up by looking at the calendar.

I haven’t read the whole book, but I would ask:…

Do you believe that the Church can only accomplish it’s mission if we return to the original form and practices of the first century church? Should our goal to be to replicate the first century church or to be the best 21st century we can be?Or something like that.

Here’s a question: “Acknowledging that you can’t read the hearts of men, what do you think lies behind the fury of your strongest critics?”

Josh, you might actually make the first podcast that I’ll ever download and listen to. It’ll be a new age for me.

The book isn’t out until Feb. 1st. And I haven’t read the original one (which is hard to find). So it’s hard to get too specific about that book. But I’ve got a few questions anyway.

One question would be: why re-release a book with the same title? Is this more like a 2nd edition, or is this mostly new material?

How did you and Barna first get to know each other, and decide to start working together? How have you affected each other during the process of working on this book?

Do you see the New Testament being more descriptive or more prescriptive? What level of freedom do we have in interpreting those descriptions or prescriptions?

How can we encourage friends we have in the modern church to understand the correlation between theology and practice in the New Testament?

Do you think it is possible, and do you have any anecdotal evidence, of existing modern churches making significant changes towards a form of church that more accurately reflects New Testament descriptions?

Why do you think megachurches are so “successful”? Are there elements of their approach that are useful for house churches to incorporate?

How do you think the “large event” emphasis has distorted the typical Christian’s concept of church, and what examples have you seen, if any, of house churches doing similar things, for either positive or negative results?

thanks for your questions. i’ll compile them and nick and i will try our best to use as many as we can.
