Theology After Google: The New Liberalism

Theology After Google: The New Liberalism
Much is happening in the emergent church world these days. To stay on top of what is happening is a challenge. Tony Jones is the poster boy for the new “progressive” churches (the new term for emergent), and he recently hosted a conference called “Theology After Google.” In Tony...

Brian McLaren: An Old Kind of Liberal

Brian McLaren: An Old Kind of Liberal
The last shreds of emergent leader Brian McLaren’s sheep costume have been torn away. The fangs are beginning to show. He’s not progressive, he’s not new–his material is extremely old. It goes all the way back to the Garden when Satan first questioned what God had said. McLaren’s...

Emerging to Die

Emerging to Die
I predict the emerging church will not last another 10 years, if that, and it may be in its death-throes already. It will be replaced by another heresy more exciting and more contemporary. That’s the nature of lies–they always breed new lies to keep pace with the times. Rob Bell, Brian McLaren,...
