One of my professors, Dr. Paul Metzger, has set up Blog to interact with issues related to his new book Consuming Jesus: Beyond Race and Class Divisions in a Consumer Church .
To get the ball rolling he selected a few student papers to be published on the blog. Mine paper titled, Church Discipline in a Consumer Culture: A Call for Compelling Community was selected. In the essay I discuss how the tendancy of the evangelical culture to treat church goers as consumers has undercut the Bible's model for corrective church discipline and suggest stronger community within church congregations as the best remedy. If you're interested in reading it or just curious about the Blog or Dr. Metzger's book go ahead and click over to: http://consumingjesus.org/ my paper is in the "essays" section.
