Submitting Some of My Homework: Emerging Church and Postmodernism

It has been said that I needed to do some homework on the Emerging Church and postmodernism, so I have attempted to get started. Below is my bibliography thus far (no articles as of yet). In the future, I hope to provide some internet resources as well. Let me explain some of the colors: Bold Faced = Primary Sources (IMO) Red = Postmodernism Orange = Emerging Church Movement Green = Evangelicalism Blue = Not Yet Published (i.e. 2006 publication date) Right now, this bibliography includes 219 books. Although this is a lengthy list, the bibliography is in no way meant to be comprehensive. My homework is just beginning . . .

Evette,

I agree. I have using Carson's GOG in much of my religious pluralism research has much to say here as well. It has to be one of the most definitive books in the last 10 years.

Thank you Joe for the links. I am looking to add content to this list, and you have helped in that. I will also email you.

Although it is evident (through my comments and posts) that I am not the head cheerleader of the EC movement, I would like to be able to have a solid understanding of the movement, its premise and presuppositions, philosophical foundations, theological framework, etc. I am just beginning, so I hope to be able to have something more substantive to say in the future . . .

I do not know you, but I hate you!

You caused me to spend lots of money at amazon.
