You may
have heard the term “Emergent Church” but do you
know who these "new Christians" are? People are looking for
explanations, but the terms are so confusing –
Emergent, Emerging, is it a “conversation” or is it a
movement?
Even among the Emergents themselves,
explanations cover different territory. Where does one
go to find the last word (and maybe a word or two after
that) on who they are?
Tony Jones, national coordinator for
Emergent Village,
shows us the way in
his latest book:
The New Christians:
Dispatches from the
Emergent Frontier
In it he introduces us to
memorable characters like
Trucker Frank who was banned from a Christian
bookstore for spending too much time sharing his faith
with bookstore patrons and employees. The New
Christians is a useful guide to how the Emergent
movement came to be and what it is up to today. Read
