9Marks on the Emerging Church

First things first. If you don't subscribe to the 9Marks newsletter, repent and click.

I've taken the liberty of reprinting below the table of contents from their latest issue on the Emerging Church.

THE EMERGING CHURCH
An Emerging Church Primer
by Justin Taylor

Pastor's and Theologian's Forum on the Emerging Church
We asked a roundtable of pastors and theologians one question:

"What do you hope will ultimately emerge from the emerging church conversation for evangelicals?"

Answers by D. A. Carson, Mark Driscoll, Michael Horton, Mike McKinley, Daniel Montgomery, Brent Thomas, Carl Trueman, and Jonathan Leeman.

The Emerging Consequences of Whose Ideas?
If ideas have consequences, it’s worth asking whose theology books are being read in the Emergent classroom.
Contributions from J. Ligon Duncan, Gregg Allison, Jim Hamilton, Stephen Wellum, and more.
