Chapter 4 poses the question: Is the church today what Jesus intended it to be? Is the church marching against the gates of hell, or have we gotten bogged down in trivial matters that don't really matter in the eternal scope of things?
Let me just point to one quote from McLaren: [The church] can become a benign and passive chaplaincy to a failing and dysfunctional culture, the religious public relations department for an inadequate and destructive ideology. It can forego being a force of liberation and transformation and instead become a source of domestication, resignation, pacification and distraction. [1]
