There was an interesting interview with Mark Driscoll in the latest Modern Reformation magazine. Driscoll says...
Being an old guy I have no idea what this emergent stuff is all about. I recognize (especially here on PB) that there are many Godly younger people who are very knowledgeable about theology and have a sincere hunger for the Word, but I am out of touch with the emergent thing.
What do you young'ons think? Have any of you attended 'emergent churches'? Do you have friends that do? Is it a big deal? What is it like? Are there pluses and minuses? (Too bad the detective emoticon does not come with a grey beard)
What we are seeing is, the two hot theologies right now among the younger evengelicals are sort of a "new Reformed theology," which is basically just the older form rediscovered, and what is known as Emergent, or emerging theology, which is becoming the new left."
