WHY WE'RE NOT EMERGENT by Kevin DeYoung and Ted Bluck: (FROM THE BACK COVER) “You can be young, passionate about Jesus Christ, surrounded by diversity, engaged in a postmodern world, reared in evangelicalism and not be an emergent Christian. In fact, I want to argue that it would be better if you weren’t.” The Emergent Church is a strong voice in today’s Christian community. And they’re talking about good things: caring for the poor, peace for all men, loving Jesus. They’re doing church a new way, not content to fit the mold. Again, all good. But there’s more to the movement than that. Much more. Kevin and Ted are two guys who, demographically, should be all over this movement. But they’re not. And Why We’re Not Emergent gives you the solid reasons why. From both a theological and an on-the-street perspective, Kevin and Ted diagnose the emerging church. They pull apart interviews, articles, books, and blogs, helping you see for yourself what it’s all about. Endorsed by D.A. Carson and Albert Mohler (Paperback from Moody Publishers, 256 pages).

BECOMING CONVERSANT WITH THE EMERGING CHURCH by D.A. Carson: This book is a careful and informed assessment of the emerging church by a respected author and scholar. The emerging church movement has generated a lot of excitement and exerts an astonishingly broad influence. Is it the wave of the future or a passing fancy? Who are the leaders and what are they saying? D.A. Carson not only gives those who may be unfamiliar with it a perceptive introduction to the emerging church movement, but also includes a skillful assessment of its theological views. Carson addresses some of the troubling weaknesses of the movement frankly and thoughtfully and strives to provide a perspective that is both honest and fair (Paperback, 256 pages).
