Good article, It's to bad I can't spend much time reading any more but the subject matter is fine.

Sad that Claiborne's "Jesus For President" didn't get any awards. -- otherwise, in my continued love of everything associated with Eastern University, I'm very glad that a posthumous award goes to Paul Hiebert's book. I'm sure his family and friends would agree that the book is award-worthy. Now I need to pick up the rest of his writings...

Great decision on John Turner's book. Bill Bright was connected to so many different aspects of evangelicalism, and Turner demonstrates this with such clarity and fine analysis. His integrity as an historian is evident on every page. I hope teachers of 20th cent. evangelicalism will be wise enough assign this book.

As much as I'm happy for the writers - it's hard to believe that "Why we're not emergent" won an award. It showed that they didn't understand the movement at all. Instead of whining about all the bad theology it would have been more helpful if if they would've joined the conversation about the questions that people draw to the Emerging Church. But pretending that everything is cool might not be enough of an answer.

I was really impressed with the book "Why We Are Not Emergent." DeYoung's earlier book on Complementarianism was also excellent.

Congratulations to the "Not Emergent" guys, but I still think Robert Webber should've won ;-)

Shouldn't the links up top direct people to a fuller list in each category? Must be an error by the web folks.
