Part 2: John Burke

Karen Ward: Communal Theology
Karen’s chapter was fun to read because one can clearly see how important the role of community is to COTA (Church of the Apostles). In her chapter, and in the life of her church, she draws heavily [...]

Listening to the Beliefs of Emerging Churches: Doug Pagitt
April 5, 2007
Part 1: Mark Driscoll
Part 2: John Burke
Part 3: Dan Kimball
Part 4: Doug Pagitt

Mark Driscoll: Biblicist Theology
I just don’t get this guy. I really wonder why Zondervan asked Driscoll to be a part of this book, and I have to wonder why Driscoll said yes. Mark apparently thinks that the number of Biblical citations is directly proportional to how faithful his chapter actually is to [...]

Listening to the Beliefs of Emerging Churches: A Review
April 1, 2007
Thanks to my friends at Zondervan, I was able to read Listening to the Beliefs of Emerging Churches and will be reflecting on it throughout the rest of this week. Tallskinnykiwi has a great review of it here, in case you’re interested.
Overall, I thought the book was okay. To be honest, I feel like I’ve [...]
