Over the past several years we've witnessed the growth of the emerging church movement. This movement has caught the attention of publications such as Christianity Today, the New York Times, and Time magazine, and can often be found discussed in online blogs. This book sheds informative light on the emerging church leaders' beliefs and message so that readers will be able to see for themselves what key leaders believe and thus arrive at their own conclusions. This is not outside onlookers drawing conclusions, it's allowing us to hear the leaders in their own words. While some evangelicals praise this movement, others condemn it as being outside the camp. Rumors and second-hand information often add more confusion. Now we can read the direct comments of the key leaders, with a compelling introduction and conclusion written by respected author and theologian, Robert Webber. This stimulating and accessible read addresses the vital questions surrounding the emerging church: is the emerging church movement/conversation about changing methods or changing the message? Contributors, consisting of leaders of several emerging churches, answer various questions and discuss main topics of the emerging church, sharing what they believe and what they teach at their churches that sets them apart from others. Each of the five leaders present their case and each responds to the other contributors. Discussion questions facilitate using the book in small group or classroom use.
