Notes on the Emerging Church

In conjunction with the Religion Saves and 9 Other Misconceptions series last Sunday, I answered the following question: 'What can traditional/established churches learn from "emerging" churches?' For those wanting more information by me on the issue, there are freebies to be had along with some paid options. The freebies include an article I did as part of an issue devoted to the Emerging Church for the Criswell Theological Review that can be found here. I also gave a lecture at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in conjunction with the Convergent Conference there on the Emerging Church. The audio from that session is available for free for download or listen inline by clicking play below" [audio://www.marshillchurch.org/audio/driscoll_sebts_092107.mp3] For those wanting to pay for more, I also contributed to the book Listening to the Beliefs of Emerging Churches which was a point/counterpoint book of sorts with five contributing authors: Karen Ward, Doug Pagitt, Dan Kimball, and John Burke. Also, this summer I have a feature article on the issue coming out in the Christian Research Journal, edited by my friend Elliott Miller.
