SOUTHERN BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY PANEL DISCUSSION ON BRIAN MCLAREN
By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Mar 12, 2010 in Brian McLaren, Current Issues, Emergence Christianity, Emergent Church, Features
In the Apprising Ministries post Brian McLaren With A New Kind Of Liberal Theology I told you not to get caught up in the rouse that Brian McLaren, a recognized leader in the neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church with its Emergence Christianity, is simply rehashing liberal theology.
As I pointed out in that prior article, he’s not; but rather, along the others in the Emergent trinity—Doug Pagitt and Tony Jones—and with an assist from friends like progressive/process theologian Philip Clayton, McLaren is trying to help raise up what they call a “big tent” Christianity.
However, what this postmodern upgrade of what’s known as Progressive Christianity has in common with it’s predecessor an ill-fated attempt to make what they think is the Christian faith palatable to this postmodern culture as well as with the latest supposed advances in scientific knowledge.
I also pointed you to McLaren’s new book is merely a fresh take on an old lie SBTS panelists say, which reported upon the SBTS panel in the video below where Dr. Al Mohler and a few others from SBTS weigh in on what Kevin DeYoung calls “McLarenism.”
