The Blue Parakeet is author Scot McKnight's deeply reasoned, compelling statement of how to read the Bible in a new evangelical generation. In re-examining the Bible, McKnight provides an exciting "Third 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. --from publisher description.
