The emerging Church conversation is a growing phenomenon among Christians in the West. But it is only part - and probably a smaller part - of a larger conversation that is taking place in the global South.
Where the Western conversation has largely been about postmodern culture and truth, the Southern conversation has focused on postcolonial culture and justice. Where the Western conversation has been focused on the church, the Southern conversation thinks in terms of society - and the planet - as a whole.
What do these two conversations have in common? How and why are they different? What is happening now that they are becoming aware of each other and involved with each other? Where might all this lead?
Brian McLaren is an author, speaker, pastor, and leading figure in the Emerging Church community.

"Theology as Performance Art in Rollins' sharp exploration of the transformative tension between Mystery and Revelation. The liturgical drama at his Ikon collective in Belfast delivers the brutal clarity one might expect from an encounter with a Hebrew prophet. " — Steven (5 out of 5 stars)
"Theology as Performance Art in Rollins' sharp exploration of the transformative tension between Mystery and Revelation. The liturgical drama at his Ikon collective in Belfast delivers the brutal clarity one might expect from an encounter with a Hebrew prophet. "
" Excellent book exploring the significance of a deconstructive a/theology for ecclesiology. And by "experiment," I don't mean a thought experiment. This is based on actual work with a spiritual community in Ireland. "
" I never thought a book on theology would be so spiritually refreshing. Excited to see how Pete's ideas come to be embraced and practiced in the future of the church. "
" Amazing book. Rollins gave words to notions and thoughts I had had but couldn't express. "
" Not as good as "The Fidelity of Betrayal" but still good. Unbelievable nuggets of insight and fresh wisdom. "
" Brilliant mind, brilliant writing. Best to take in slowly, a few pages or a chapter at a time. "
" Another provocative read from Rollins. This goes deeper than Fidelity of Betrayal in some ways, but I think that book is a better overview of Rollins' perspective. "
" He just says the things that I have never been fully able to articulate. "
" Excellent book! Opens a entirely new perspective and approach to God talk. Provocative and engaging! "
" Made me rethink how I think about God "
" Will change how you view God. Central theme: Questions create a space for God to dwell- they create a sanctuary for His presence. And, God is so much bigger than we can fathom... "
" Insightful theological and philosophical insights from an emerging church leader in Northern Ireland. "
