Brian’s new kind of Christianity is quite old. And the problem is that it’s not old enough. Scott McKnight McKnight does an outstanding job of reviewing Brian McLaren’s ‘A New Kind of Christianity’ and explains why he thinks McLaren has drifted from both evangelicalism and orthodoxy and wandered wandered down the path of 19th Century [...]
The gospel of the kingdom
16 March, 2010 – 7:48 AM
John Zxerce reviews Hugh Halter’s Tangible Kingdom and raises concerns that if correct, will derail the emerging-missional movement. The part of the book that most concerned me was their understanding of the gospel. The authors claim the gospel isn’t the answer of Jesus to the sin-problem of men and women.

Are the glory days over? Leonard Sweet speaks out on the emerging church. . . The emerging church has become another form of social gospel.

The Church confronts (Post?) Modernity
25 August, 2008 – 1:32 PM
I’m reading Catholicism and modernity: Confrontation or capitulation? by James Hitchcock. Written in the late 1970s in the wake of Vatican II. He writes as an orthodox Catholic facing the growing liberalisation of his faith from within the Church. There are striking parallels in the story of the Episcopalian demise in the US and Canada [...]
