Kimball on "Why We're Not Emergent"

Dan Kimball:

There is a new book out called "Why We're Not Emergent: By Two Guys Who Should Be". With the books or blogs so far that have been written from an anti-emerging or anti-emerging church perspective, many of them (but not all) are unfortunately somewhat extremist and highly over-the-top in what they report on. I am often amazed at the hyper-caricatures made based on a sentence or two from someone's writing and then an unfortunate very large broadbrush is applied to everyone who has anything to do with the emerging and emergent churches. However, out of all the critical books on the emerging or emergent church, this is probably the most balanced of all of them I have read with their tone being more gentle and they didn't just focusing on one or two people for all of their conclusions. They do say some pretty negative or maybe a better word is cautionary things about me in it and things I have written (which I will address sometime later).

Read the whole thing.
