The Emerging Church and Truth

The topic of Post-Modernism is not usually a familiar one to most Christian believers. It does not have its origin in the Christian church but nevertheless it has entered the culture, the church and individual Christian thinking to the extent that it has become a highly significant factor in the world today. This has occurred slowly and subtly without sufficient awareness on the part of Christians. We have been exploring Post Modernism in this age, generally, and now its entry into the Church in particular. We have introduced the “Emerging Church” where Post-Modern thinking not only denies the clear teaching of Scripture but the message of Jesus and the Gospel itself. Tonight's session begins an exploration of the tenets of the “Emergent Church,” the formal entity of the Emerging Church movement. Its views of “Truth” are basic to all that follows in our understanding of Post Modernism and the Emerging Church.
