The Church in Emerging Culture: Five Perspectives

What should the church look like today?What should be the focus of its message?How should I present that message?We live in as pivotal and defining an age as the Great Depression or the Sixtiesâ€“a period whose definition, say some cultural observers, includes a warning of the churchâ€™s influence. The result? A society measurably less religious but decidedly more spiritual. Less influenced by authority than by experience. More attuned to images than to words.How does the church adapt to such a culture? Or should it, in fact, eschew adapting for maintaining a course it has followed these last two millennia? Or something in between?These are exactly the questions asked in The Church In Emerging Culture by five Christian thinker-speaker-writers, each who advocate unique stances regarding what the churchâ€™s message should be (and what methods should be used to present it) as it journeys through this evolving, postmodern era. The authors are:Andy Crouchâ€“Re:Generation Quarterly editor-in-chiefMichael Hortonâ€“professor and reformed theologianFrederica Mathewes-Greenâ€“author, commentator, and Orthodox ChristianBrian D. McLarenâ€“postmodernist, author, pastor, and Emergent senior fellowErwin Raphael McManusâ€“author and pastor of the innovative and interethnic L.A.-based church, MosaicMost unique about their individual positions is that theyâ€™re presented not as singular essays but as lively discussions in which the other four authors freely (and frequently) comment, critique, and concur. That element, coupled with a unique photographic design that reinforces the depth of their at-once congenial and feisty conversation, gives you all-access entrÃ©e into this groundbreaking discourse.Whatâ€™s more, general editor Leonard Sweet (author of SoulTsunami and AquaChurch, among several other acclaimed texts) frames the thought-provoking dialogue with a profoundly insightful, erudite introductory essayâ€“practically a book within a book. The Church In Emerging Culture is foundational reading for leaders and serious students of all denominations and church styles.
