The Church Is Flat Touted as the “Go To” Book on the Movement

Austin Roberts has posted a thorough review of my book, The Church Is Flat: The Relational Ecclesiology of the Emerging Church Movement, at Homebrewed Christianity:

While this is not a book aimed primarily at a popular-level audience as his previous books have been, Jones has managed to write a scholarly book that reads remarkably well.  He also works hard to remain aware of his own favorable bias towards the ECM in order to facilitate a more objective study of the movement – an effort that I believe paid off in the end.  Indeed, I would argue that Jones’ The Church is Flat is the new go-to book for understanding the past, present, and future of the emerging church movement.  This is an exceptionally smart book that demands equally serious attention from participants, sympathizers, and critics of the ECM.
