Do you know anything about D.A. Carson's work?
My question is about a release from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School's D.A. Carson due in February. It's called "Becoming Conversant With Emergent: Understanding a Movement and Its Implications." I was wondering if you knew anything about it and whether or not it will be a slam against the Emergent movement. I like Carson and hope he would be more inclined to support Emergent since he wrote a book called "Telling the Truth: Evangelizing Postmoderns" (which I have not read, but am thinking it is not an attempt to convert postmoderns to modernity, but to Christianity).
I haven’t read a manuscript of the book, but a lot of people have heard lectures that will probably be reflected in the book, and they have told me to brace myself for some pretty strong critique. I haven’t heard the lectures myself, so I really can’t offer any specifics. I’ve read a number of Dr. Carson’s books, and I think our perspectives are quite different; he’s certainly an articulate writer, so I imagine he’ll make those differences quite clear. Anyway, may God bless Dr. Carson, and I hope I will benefit from his critique.
