Issue #5: Over-reactions in the Emergent movement<\/p>\n

The over-reactionary nature of some of its claims, especially about (a) modernism and postmodernism and (b) what modernist Christianity really believes. The reason this is a problem is because it resorts to false dichotomies and to simplistic comparisons. DA Carson\u2019s book will help with this and I do hope that everyone serious about Emergent church stuff will read him carefully on these matters.<\/p>\n

DA Carson\u2019s book explodes this issue and it needs to be given serious attention.<\/p>\n
