The Great Emergence: How Christianity is Changing and Why

Short review: Phyllis Tickle is a great proponent of spiritual disciplines especially fixed hour prayer. But I just don't think she is in her field talking about this history of Christianity. The thesis is that we are in the midst of the next reformation (something she suggests happens about every 500 years.) It is interesting writing and I learned a few things. But there are too many alternative explanations for what is going on in Christianity for me really to think that Emergent/Emerging church is the next manifestation of the church. I am all for the Emergent/Emerging church. But I do not think that is where the church as a whole is heading.
