An emerged threat well explained

A very well written and researched document finally explaining the Emergent Church and it's deep historical roots and it's attempts to erase the borders of what defines us as Christians. Every age is preceeded by a change in thought, a shift in paradigm, and the way humanity perceives life, it's meaning, and how we relate to the world. The postmodern era wants to undefine the meaning of Christianity in favor of community and pural salvation. Only when we truly erase the borders, when Christians become part of the world, can we be fully united under one government ... under one man.

Exposing Fools That lead the Innocent away from the truth

brilliant, mr Bob Dewaay as produced an excellent exposes of a fast growing, pseudo christian cult that will take people to a judgment of wrath that they say is not going to happen, latte drinking so called spiritual gurus, whose main reason is to promote new age pantheism into christian churches under the disguise of being free and liberal christian thinkers, its just the old verbiage we are all-one and in-tune with the universe rubbish, this book is a must if you are serious and want to know about and expose this cult, that thinks all religions are the same and we must make the planet fuzzy good and live together in harmony, and be RE creators with God its got no substance and no hope of salvation thank you for a well written book, and the great amount of research you have done yours in jesus

Bob Dewaay's research into the Emergent movement is one of the most important books I've read in years. It needs to be circulated widely, particularly among evangelical denominations like the SBC and the Assemblies of God. The Emergent Church is also a courageous work, because the movement's leaders are clever in marketing themselves; many, many pastors have been taken-in by Emergent philosophies, which are dangerous to the health of the evangelical church. In this book, the author provides clear analysis of the world view of the Emergent community, and his investigation into the eschatological views of Emergent are absolutely critical for Christians to grasp, and grasp right away.

Brilliant Debunking of Emergent Church Nonsense

Bob DeWaay`s writing is always very lucid and insightful. This book is no exception. I wish everyone deluded by Emergent Church sophistry would read this. It really is amazing that so many are deceived by something that is not even very original, as DeWaay shows very well by tracing the roots of Emergent Church ideology. Actually, he could have traced their relativism all the way to Protagoras, who was refuted by Socrates. He treats their views with a lot of fairness and respect -much more respect than they deserve, certainly. He shows how eschatology is the unifying theme of the movement[their wishful thinking about the future. If the book has any flaw, it is in his tendency to quote Francis Schaeffer a lot. I don`t find Schaeffer all that insightful. J. Greshan Machen is better on this issue. But this is a minor quibble about a top-notch book.

BOB DEWAAY clearly stands out as a the authority in defining The Emergent Church!

I believe that this book is the most well written, comprehensive and accurate book that has been written about the beliefs of the Emergent Church. It is sure to be the standard of reference and required reading in colleges and seminaries around the world for those that are studying the Emergent Church. Bob Dewaay has certainly done a lot of research in preparation for writing this book. He documents where this movement started, who the main proponents were and who the current proponents are and what they believe. If you want to understand the theology of the Emergant Church this is the book to read, regardless of what your viewpoint is.
