Book Reviews of Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith
Book Review: A mere effort to get closer to the truth, not to alter it
Summary: 5 Stars
Rob is not emergent. He merely taps into postmodern concepts that are, in and of themselves, nothing but ways of viewing reality that better enable us to see life as it really is. He is not reformulating truth or the gospel. He affirms objective truth (as well as the Nicene Creed). So to the contrary, Rob is using new ways of thinking to restore a more complete and accurate representation of the Bible, Jesus, and what it means to live in Christ. Easily the most influential book I've ever read. But to those not acquainted with postmodern thinking, this book, like anything new, will frighten and confuse, resulting in negative comments and backlash. That is the hurdle for most with this book. Others, who wish to lord over the masses a tyrannical dogmatism, find this book to be nonsense - which is a major point of Rob's.
But to those of my generation and after, this is nothing but an intellectually and spiritually honest book - because we grew up in a postmodern world. Thus ignore this book at your own expense.
