Product Description:
“You can be young, passionate about Jesus Christ, surrounded by diversity, engaged in a postmodern world, reared in evangelicalism and not be an emergent Christian. In fact, I want to argue that it would be better if you weren’t.”
The Emergent Church is a strong voice in today’s Christian community. And they’re talking about good things: caring for the poor, peace for all men, loving Jesus. They’re doing church a new way, not content to fit the mold. Again, all good. But there’s more to the movement than that. Much more.
Kevin and Ted are two guys who, demographically, should be all over this movement. But they’re not. And Why We’re Not Emergent gives you the solid reasons why. From both a theological and an on-the-street perspective, Kevin and Ted diagnose the emerging church. They pull apart interviews, articles, books, and blogs, helping you see for yourself what it’s all about.

Of all the books I have read about the emergent church, this is the best. The authors clearly define, for the purpose of the book, what they are including when they refer to the "emergent church". They do not make broad, unsubstantiated statements, but thoroughly document their sources and then use scripture to show their views on each topic. The difference in their style of writing adds variety to the book, keeping it interesting.
They do not take issue with the emergent church ... Read More

I must confess that I often judge a book by its cover... the back cover that is. If the title and trendy cover artwork for Why We're Not Emergent (By Two Guys Who Should Be) aren't catchy enough already, the endorsements on the back cover are what really grabbed my attention. Those who are familiar with the current mini-feud within evangelicalism between liberal "emergents" and conservative Calvinists will recognize names like scholar D.A. Carson, pastor Mark Dever and blogger Justin Taylor, all of ... Read More

I've been reading some emergent books lately (especially McLaren), and I found this book to be a valuable read, especially in terms of helping me understand some balance between varying viewpoints. The authors seek to take the readers back to the Word of God, and they seem well-informed about the emergent movement they are critiquing. I wish they would have provided some more historical, cultural background for Scriptural references they used to defend their position. I may not agree wholeheartedly ... Read More

It's been noted that most emergent tomes are being written by folks in their 30's (or so) while the "rebuttal books" are coming from folks older than that (sometimes significantly so). Here's an exception, and it's not to be easily dismissed. DeYoung and Kluck demonstrate theological maturity and writing prowess beyond their years.
They're fair with the emergents - letting their writings speak for themselves - and their strong and direct (and biblically-grounded) in thei critiques and ... Read More

DeYoung and Kluck do an excellent job of asking tough questions about the Emergent movement, and yet they do it in a way that is representative of the faith they confess. More congregants need to be asking their leaders... "just where are you leading us?" This book will help them do just that.
