    I would appreciate any suggestions for books from any of you. We finish McLaren in mid-March and haven't decided what next.





  They've probably been mentioned on this list before, but two books spring to mind: (a) Phylllis Tickle's The Great Emergence, which draws on, (b) Karen Armstrong's The Great Transformation…both of which develop Karl Jasper's concept of "axial age" from the late '40s.


  Two related notes. 


  The Anglican Bishop Dwyer used the expression "church rummage sale" (every few centuries, letting go of the old so that the new might emerge) to describe what happens in transition times—axial ages—like ours (and Luther's, and the 11th Century, etc.)


  I heard Rabbi Rami Shapiro speak in Denver last month. He's working with 'axial age' as a way to context an emergence of spirituality based on practices rather than beliefs.
