Evangelicals Engaging Emergent
A Discussion of the Emergent Church Movement
Edited by William Henard, Adam Greenway
Evangelicals Engaging Emergent draws from a broad spectrum of conservative
evangelicalism to serve as a clear, informative, fair, and respectful guide for
those desiring to know what “emergent” means, why it originated, where the
movement is going, what issues concern emergent believers, and where they
sometimes go wrong theologically.
Among the dozen contributors are Norman Geisler (A Postmodern View of Scripture),
Darrell Bock (Emergent/Emerging Christologies), Ed Stetzer (The Emergent/
Emerging Church: A Missiological Perspective), and Daniel Akin (The Emerging
Church and Ethical Choices: The Corinthian Matrix).
William Henard is senior pastor of Porter Memorial Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky; and assistant
professor of Evangelism and Church Growth at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Adam Greenway is assistant professor of Evangelism and Applied Apologetics and associate vice president
for Extension Education and Applied Ministries at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.

The Formation of Christian Doctrine
Malcolm B. Yarnell III
The Formation of Christian Doctrine is a high-level academic study of the history
of Christian doctrinal development. The book distinguishes at length between
the scholarly term “inventio” (making explicit what is implicit in the biblical
revelation) and the idea of “invention” (presenting a novelty as Christian
teaching that conflicts with the biblical revelation).
Theological method is a growing concern for church leaders and academics alike.
Interacting with established Christian conversations regarding theological
foundations and the development of doctrine, Malcolm Yarnell proposes a
distinctive believers’ church theological method. This method, including that
of Baptists, is neither Catholic, nor Calvinist, nor Liberal. Instead, Dr. Yarnell
argues for consistent discipleship to Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit-led congregational
interpretation of the all-sufficient Word of God, and a deep respect for the
contributions of historical theology.
Malcolm B. Yarnell III is associate professor of Systemic Theology and director of the Oxford study program and
the center for theological research at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.
