Book Reviews of Church in Emerging Culture: Five Perspectives
Book Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
I completely agree with the review entitled "pass". The layout of this book makes it very difficult to understand or track with.
I took a class on Christianity and the Post-modern World at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (Charlotte, NC) and I was most excited about reading this book because of the folks participating in the conversation. Placing practitioners like Erwin McManus and Brain McLauren in the same room with with thinkers like Andy Crouch and Leonard Sweet should make for very interesting dialog. On top of that you introduce an Oxford trained, reformed theologian like Mike Horton and a former NPR commentator who has converted to Eastern Orthodoxy in Frederica Matthewes-Green. Sadly the book didn't deliver like I thought it would. It would have been better to have the audio or video of their conversation. They seem to talk past each other and spend the majority of their time critiquing each others points rather than putting forward any clear perspectives as the title implied they would.
