DARWINING DOWN THE WORD: EMERGENT PASTOR ERWIN MCMANUS AND HIS EVOLVING IDEA OF THE CHURCH


His bio says Jim Brown “is the education reporter for American Family Radio News.” In this following article Brown says:

I warned that Erwin McManus, a leader of the Emergent Church movement was headlining “Student Life” events across the U-S.  McManus has endorsed a book promoting open theism, a theology which calls into question the sovereignty of God, denies His omniscience, and is gaining a foothold in many “evangelical” seminaries today.  That alone, I believe, should concern parents, youth pastors and churches that are sending their teenagers to attend conferences led by the Los Angeles pastor and author.

FYI the book Brown is speaking of would be Is God to Blame? by open theist Greg Boyd. And on the back cover of this book Erwin McManus says:

Greg Boyd addresses what may be the single most asked question among skeptics and seekers. Many without Christ are still waiting for us to respond with an intelligent answer. Greg provides an apologetic that actually makes sense about an issue that really matters!
