help! book on Christianity

A few months ago I read an LJ entry that discussed a book on the author's problems with Christianity. My LJ friend listed maybe 10 such problems; the only one I remember stated that progressive Christianity isn't any more useful than traditional Christianity, because it interprets Christianity in the light of an external value system and therefore adds nothing that can't be found outside religion.

If anybody knows what the heck book I'm talking about, please let me know.

I'm not sure which book you're talking about, but the point you listed is reflected in Bruggemann's "The Prophetic Imagination."

As far as a book with multiple points about the weaknesses in modern, mailine religion, but approaching it from a believer's standpoint? Could you mean Brian McLaren's "A Generous Orthodoxy"?

(For the record, I was remembering apdraper2000's post on Sam Harris' The End of Faith.)
