Domination, accumulation, revolution, victimization, purification, and isolation are the six stories that dominate humankind. Each story tends to pit one group against another either through politics and patriotism or through greed and desire. According to Richard Rohr, "Up to now, Christianity has largely imitated cultural stories instead of transforming them. Reward/punishment and good people versus bad people have been the plot lines..." McLaren and Garet Higgins discuss these stories, describing how they work and how those plot lines impact our lives and living. They agree with Rohr that up til now Christianity has largely imitated these stories. But there is a Seventh Story, the good news story of reconciliation and this is the story that we should be living out. Well written and compelling. ( )
