"Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. But the man who loves God is known by God." - 1 Corinthians 8:1b-3

Book Review: "Why We're Not Emergent" by Kevin DeYoung and Ted Kluck
Why We're Not Emergent (By Two Guys Who Should Be) (2008) by Kevin DeYoung and Ted Kluck This book would land somewhere around 7 stars. It is a bit
of a slow read, especially at the beginning. The chapters alternate -
one by Kevin followed by one by Ted. Kevin's chapters are very deep
(although not always that content laden...) while Ted's chapters are
very fluffy and fun (and definitely not content laden). They definitely
make a good case against the Emergent teachings, although the book is
written specifically for those in Emergent circles and therefore is a
bit weak in some areas. Overall, it is a good book with a good message
and hopefully one that is widely read amongst young, dissatisfied
evangelicals as well as those solidly in the Emergent camp.
