Listening to the Beliefs of Emerging Churches | Robert E. Webber, ed.

Robert E. Webber, ed. Listening to the Beliefs of Emerging Churches: Five Perspectives. Zondervan, 2007. 201 pp.

A cross-section of five frontline leaders in the controversial emerging church movement sheds informative light on their beliefs and basic message to help us understand whether it’s all about new methods or a new message or both.

What are the beliefs of the new movement known as the emerging church? In thought-provoking debate, prominent emerging leaders John Burke, Mark Driscoll, Dan Kimball, Doug Pagitt, and Karen Ward discuss their sometimes controversial views under the editorship of author and educator Robert Webber. Hear what they say about their views of Scripture, Christ, the atonement, other world religions, and other important doctrines, so you can come to your own conclusions about the emerging church.
