An emergent theology for emerging churches - Ray S Anderson

At a time when there is much talk of 'emerging/ mission-shaped church', Ray Anderson's book is a challenge to 'think theologically' and ensure that all such initiatives are rooted in a dynamic, transformative and biblically informed faith.This book explores the parallels between the challenges facing the Church today and the first-century Antioch church, where St Paul shaped 'emergent theology', developing from the parent Jerusalem church. This was not a different gospel but a rigorous appraisal of what constituted the core message of salvation.It is essential reading for visionary church leaders, those training future leaders, and all concerned about presenting the gospel message in a fast-changing culture.
