Title: Another witch hunt
Review: That Carson has an axe to grind is obvious. His research is limited - he looks for what he wants to find and looks no further. The use of a singular example (McLaren) as a sample shows how entirely unrepresentative his description of the emerging church is. Worse than this, Carson comes close to deliberately misrepresenting the movement by his category mistakes - attempting to portray the movements motivations as naive theological adventurism (as if George W. Bush were running the rock-show), instead of a multi-faceted attempt at greater missionary engagement with the contemporary context.Those who wish to embark on a witch-hunt will find all the 'absolutely true, objectively factual evidence' that they need here.
