Jesus Creed: Emergent Reaction
Jesus Creed: Emergent Reaction Scot McKnight does an amazing 6 paragraph summary of the EC. The comments are helpful too. I think his view is contaminated by being old church because those ideals are not necessarily held by some writers, for example at TheOoze. So I see a couple real negative "solutions" to the "problem" of the "system." Legalism, toss out grace, cause people need to start living it or else, or liberalism, always saying Yes and embodying the good news, never saying No, and waiting for the community to gel and spontaneously be orthodox.

I'm not sure what "contaminated by being old church because those ideals are not necessarily held by some writers" means. But, I'm happy to be corrected.

By the way, what you say just might be a good example of my new "Via negativa" blog.
i missed your definition of the vie negativa. could you send me a link to that or a definition here? is that a good thing or not?
