The Emerging Church

Mark Galli moderates a Christian Book Expo panel with Scot McKnight, Tony Jones, Kevin DeYoung, and Alex and Brett Harris.

We hear much about the emerging church, but pinning down its beliefs and goals can be challenging. What is the movement emerging from and where is it headed? How influential is the emerging church? Participants, observers, and critics examine this movement from all angles – biblical, theological, pastoral, and missional. Christianity Today‘s Mark Galli moderated this panel on March 21, 2009 for the Christian Book Expo in Dallas.

Panelists:

•Scot McKnight, The Blue Parakeet (Zondervan)

•Tony Jones, The New Christians (Jossey-Bass)

•Kevin DeYoung, Why We Are Not Emergent (Moody)

•Alex and Brett Harris, Do Hard Things (WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group)
