More on "The Emerging Church"...

Eric Svendsen of New Testament Research Ministries has addressed, in brief, the growing movement called, among other names, "the Emerging Church". At his Real Clear Theology blog Dr.Svendsen rightly states that this growing movement (that has also been labelled "neo-liberalism") is rethinking Christianity by looking through postmodern lenses and that they are reacting to the "perceived errors of modernity". Dr.Svendsen also has this to say:

"The “Emerging Church” movement is so called because it is the collection of
postmoderinst “Christians” who are emerging from the process of “deconstructing”
their own prior “modernist” Christian worldview, and “reconstructing” it into
something that avoids the past errors of the Enlightenment".
He also recognizes that these men (leaders in the Emerging Church movement) are not driven by Biblical Christian principles but have adopted an "intellectually liberal" "worldview trend".
