Zondervan

From the Back Cover
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.
