by Matt McCarnan on June 22nd, 2007

Becoming Conversant with the Emerging ChurchD. A. Carson. Becoming Conversant with the Emerging Church: Understanding a Movement and Its Implications. Zondervan, 2005. 256 pp.

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?

The time has come for a mature assessment. 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 troubling weaknesses of the movement frankly and thoughtfully, while at the same time recognizing that it has important things to say to the rest of Christianity. The author strives to provide a perspective that is both honest and fair.

Anyone interested in the future of the church in a rapidly changing world will find this an informative and stimulating read.

Only One Way? | Richard D. Phillips, ed.

by Phil Gons on March 14th, 2007

Only One Way?Richard D. Phillips, ed. Only One Way? Reaffirming the Exclusive Truth Claims of Christianity. Crossway, 2007. 160 pp.

Centuries ago Christ made a claim that disconcerts as many today as it did then—he is the way of salvation. Ironically, he spoke these words to comfort his disciples on the night of his arrest. Richard Phillips is just one of six highly respected authors seeking to reaffirm these comforting words and other exclusive claims of Christianity for today’s reader.Each chapter proclaims, defends, and explains the Christian truths that are most directly challenged by postmodern relativism. Our God is the God; Jesus is not merely a savior, but the only Savior; and the truth revealed in the Bible is divine truth. As readers grasp these essential ideas and their implications they will be able to witness powerfully by articulating these claims with clarity, conviction, and love.
