schleiermacher cosmic view in order to understand religion

Doug Pagitt introduced me to my wife, and later attended our wedding I helped host the Church Basement Roadshow in Grand Rapids, featuring Doug Pagitt, Tony Jones, and Mark Scandrette I was even known as “Emergent Jeremy” at the seminary I attended. I attended Brian McLaren’s church while living in Washington D.C. Once upon a time I was enamored with the “I-am-not-a-movement-but-a-conversation” known as the Emergent Church. Then I’ll release the introduction, conclusion, and an afterword throughout the rest of the week, which should give you just enough taste of the book to make you want buy it 🙂 It tells some of my own story in relationship to the Emergent Church and why I decided to research this particular topic. Greshem Machen noted in his book, Christianity and Liberalism, “liberalism not only is a different religion from Christianity but belongs in a totally different class of religions.”īefore I release the book later this week, I thought I would release a few pieces of the book, beginning with the preface. Recognizing such connections because as J. I hope my research fills this gap in scholarship and helps the Church better understand this contemporary conversation and its connection to a very historical one. I also hope my research helps mainstream evangelicals understand how their use of Kingdom of God language at times mirrors the way in which theological liberals have defined the Kingdom for generations. While some scholars have noted similarities, few have significantly explores the similarities and the connections between liberalism and Emergent, particularly when it comes to the Kingdom of God, the central guiding motif to both liberalism and the Emergent Church. I think my research has made an important contribution to the ongoing discussion of the Emergent Church and evangelicalism, as few people, from what I’ve seen, have taken the time to trace the continuity between it and aberrant forms of the Christian faith, mainly theological liberalism. Then I’m going to give some promised commentary on three key aspects of my research: how theological liberals define our human problem, our solution, and the One who bore our solution. I’m going to repost the intro and conclusion this week, as they’ve gone through some needed tweaks. I’m also pleased to announce I am launching my thesis in ebook (initially for NOOK and Kindle) and printed book form the same day, May 4. Thankfully it is complete and thankfully I can now finally leave my “ nourishing mother” (aka alma mater) once and for all this Friday!

Little did I know it’d be another 3 months and a few more rounds of edits before it would be finally complete. Earlier in the year I posted on the completion of my ThM thesis, which is titled Reimagining the Kingdom: The Generational Development of Liberal Kingdom Grammar from Schleiermacher to McLaren.
