What the "Emergent Church Movement" is all about-and why it
matters to the future of Christianity 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.
