The new Christians - Tony Jones

" The New Christians
shows how the influence of Jesus of Nazareth is moving among a new generation hungry for something real and desperate to move beyond simplistic polarities inherited from the past. Tony Jones stands at the crossroads of theology, philosophy, and culture, tackling the issues facing this 'emergent' generation with the depth, humility, and grace, only a sojourner intimately familiar with the journey could provide."
—Jim Wallis, author,
God's Politics ; president, Sojourners/Call to Renewal

"This is the book to read to get the actual insider's view of all things emergent."
—Dan Kimball, author,
They Like Jesus But Not the Church

"I devoured this book! Just as A New Kind of Christian gave words to the experiences and thoughts of so many early in this decade, The New Christians provides language, theology, and a nudge toward a path out of our bi–polar morass of left vs. right, liberal vs. conservative, mainline vs. evangelical. It cuts sideways across all the rhetoric, entrenchment, and warfare–positioning of modern–day Christianity. I'm confident Tony's book will provide definition for many, helpful disequilibrium for others, and—best of all—new hope for those who cannot (or refuse to) continue trudging numbly along the cattle paths of the American church."
—Mark Oestreicher, president, Youth Specialties

"In the tradition of all great apologists, Jones has written both a reasoned explication and a deeply personal explanation of emergent Christianity. Every thinking Christian should read this book either for the explication or the explanation. Wise ones will read it for both."
—Phyllis Tickle, compiler, The Divine Hours, and author,
