false 2074642 1 <P>What the "Emergent Church Movement" is all about-and why it matters to the future of Christianity</P> <P>Following on the questions raised by Brian McLaren in A New Kind of Christian, Tony Jones has written an engaging exploration of what this new kind of Christianity looks like. Writing "dispatches" about the thinking and practices of adventurous Emergent Christians across the country, he offers an in-depth view of this new "third way" of faith-its origins, its theology, and its views of truth, scripture and interpretation, and the Emergent movement's hopeful and life-giving sense of community. With the depth of theological expertise and broad perspective he has gained as a pastor, writer, and leader of the movement, Jones initiates readers into the Emergent conversation and offers a new way forward for Christians in a post-Christian world. With journalistic narrative as well as authoritative reflection, he draws upon on-site research to provide fascinating examples and firsthand stories of who is doing what, where, and why it matters. <P>Tony Jones (Edina, MN) is the author of eight books and National Coordinator of Emergent Village (www.emergentvillage.com). He is also part of the Progressive Religious Communicators Network, a group that offers alternative Christian perspectives to media outlets on issues of public policy. 2079890 3 3 2008 The New Christians: Dispatches from the Emergent Frontier total:55|5:15|4:20|3:14|2:4|1:2| 55 207 92 14 5 0 false false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Feb 18 13:33:51 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 13:33:51 -0800 2009 1
