Summary
Summary
In Deep Church, Belcher brings the best insights of all sides to forge a third way between emerging and traditional. In a fair and evenhanded way, Belcher explores the proposals of such emerging church leaders as Tony Jones, Brian McLaren and Doug Pagitt. He offers measured appreciation and affirmation as well as balanced critique. Moving beyond reaction, Belcher provides constructive models from his own church planting experience and paints a picture of what this alternate, deep church looks like--a missional church committed to both tradition and culture, valuing innovation in worship, arts and community but also creeds and confessions.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Smart, passionate, thoughtful, hopeful and Jesus-centered—this is the Jim Belcher I used to hang out with in the early nineties (like it was so long ago!) at the Huntington—and this is the Jim Belcher in this book. Lots of people are going to find this book very helpful.” —Rob Bell, New York Times bestselling author of Love Wins and Velvet Elvis
“Passionately, articulately and with sometimes winsome self-confidence, Belcher seeks to chart a ‘third way’ between the often divided factions within the traditional and emerging wings of American evangelicalism.” —Publishers Weekly
“Deep Church is a narrative of one man’s journey of spiritual discovery involving at core a search for a place to stand. Whether you can fully agree with Jim’s findings or not, you will find this book to be an accessible, well-articulated, deeply personal and (thankfully) theologically irenic apologetic for the emerging church.” —Alan Hirsch, author of The Forgotten Ways
“A marvelously reliable guide—indeed I know of none better—for our much-needed efforts to go deeper as churches by mining the depths of the gospel for creative and faithful ministry in the strange and exciting new world of the twenty-first century.” —Richard J. Mouw, from the foreword
