  <default_description>&quot;&#8364;&#339;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&amp;rsquo;t.&quot;*&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; The Emergent Church is a strong voice in today&amp;rsquo;s Christian community.  And they&amp;rsquo;re talking about good things:  caring for the poor, peace for all men, loving Jesus.  They&amp;rsquo;re doing church a new way, not content to fit the mold.  Again, all good.  But there&amp;rsquo;s more to the movement than that. Much more.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Kevin and Ted are two guys who, demographically, should be all over this movement.  But they&amp;rsquo;re not.  And &lt;i&gt;Why We&amp;rsquo;re Not Emergent&lt;/i&gt; 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&amp;rsquo;s all about.</default_description>

The emergent church is a healthy response to the long stated rigid theology of evangelicals.  I think the two authors are re-enforcing the message of the emergent church in this text.

    <body><![CDATA[This book has further helped me to discern the times, esp. re: the tendency in today's church to resist standing on Truth and operating as a body submitted to the God revealed in Scripture.

    <body><![CDATA[Since I've started reading about the emergent church, I've approached it with a mix of interest and hesitancy. One problem I've always had has been that I've had a hard time pinning down what exactly emergentness is, as it's such a multifaceted movement with no one willing to speak for anyone else. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25967113">more...</a>]]></body>
