Negative Positive
Title: Narrow, Shallow and Not Very Conversant
Review: Honestly I am dissappointed by professor Carson's 2nd rate engagement with the emerging/missional shift. He has many assumptions which he does not bring to the fore front and seems very sure that the Bible is a completely objective arbiter of truth. Yet the Bible is an interpreted and living text. We should all howl at Evangelicalism for burying the Scriptures under a plethora of big church programs and self-help, 1-2-3 psychologizing for a consumer culture. Mind you the emerging movement is being birthed out of a generation that grew up in boomer churches. I find it intriguing that D.A. Carson probably would not have a problem with John Wesley or Jonathan Edwards...but when God's Spirit moves out side Carson's sacred cows all of a suden we're possibly facing a cultish/apostate church?
Is the review positive or negative?
