Title: Who are they talking about?
Product review: As with another book I reviewed (Tradition, Opinion, and Truth: The Emerging Church of Christ by Fred Peatross), I don't recognize the churches of Christ that the authors are writing about. Even after thirty years of being a part of the churches of Christ I know that I am not an expert or possess a thorough knowledge of all the teachings but this book left me confused. The gist of the book seems to be that the CoC needs to reject the philosophies and teachings of our fathers and accept the postmodern worldview in order to grow and change along with the world. Not the Biblical teachings of our fathers but the traditions and ideals that they espoused and which have been a part of the churches of Christ for the past 150+ years. Oddly one teaching I do know is that we are taught not to be conformed to this world (Rom 12:2). The author's seem to have missed this one. This is a book that I will not be keeping. Perhaps I misread it but I don't believe so.
