The actual headline for this short report from Baylor University is: Christian Author to Speak at Intersections Lecture, but Emerging Church guru Brian McLaren is no brother of mine. Baylor student newswriter Lillyan Baker tells us: Dr. Brian McLaren, a Christian author, speaker, blogger and networker, will present his lecture “Beyond Absolutism, Pluralism, Relativism” at 7 p.m. Monday, March 22, […]

In the Apprising Ministries post Brian McLaren With A New Kind Of Liberal Theology I told you not to get caught up in the rouse that Brian McLaren, a recognized leader in the neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church with its Emergence Christianity, is simply rehashing liberal theology. As I pointed out in that prior […]

As a reader of Apprising Ministries it’s old news that Brian McLaren is a leader in the neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church with its Emergence Christianity. Back in November of 2005 I began pointing out that the Emerging Church (EC) had all the hallmarks of becoming a newer version of what cult expert Dr. Walter Martin […]

While assessing The Narrative Question of “What Is The Overarching Story Line of the Bible,” in A New Lind of Christianity by Emerging Church leader Brian McLaren, where McLaren refers to a supposed “Greco-Roman six-line narrative” Jeremy Bouma astutely observes: Notice what Brian does here: 1) he rejects the historic doctrine of original sin, which […]

Earlier today Apprising Ministries told you that Brian McLaren responded to Scot McKnight’s review of his book. McLaren, an influential leader in the Emergent Church (EC), is busy making the rounds promoting his latest book  A New Kind of Christianity (ANKoC) where he may have made a tactical error in clearly laying out his updated version of old liberalism, which is really […]

Apprising Ministries showed you yesterday in Brian McLaren Has Moved Away From “Ancient-Future” Faith yet another former supporter of  Emerging Church (EC) leader Brian McLaren recognizing that in his latest book A New Kind of Christianity (ANKoC) McLaren’s clearly layed out his updated version of old liberalism, i.e. a new form of Progressive Christianity. Of this Liberalism 2.0 EC […]
