BTW, this book is pretty good and I'm glad I wasn't the only one who saw the proof texting going on. i’m wondering if his next book will be a war on a-millenialism?

I think another danger with the book is that he tends to give the impression that the emergent movement is to be painted with the same brush stroke. That is, he isn't careful to distinguish between the Reformed flavor of the emergent movement and the heretical movement. This leads readers to take up arms and go to WAR with the emergent movement as a whole, and this is a very unfortunate opportunity for divisiveness among true Christians.

I was expecting much more. But I do recognize that MacArthur sometimes, um, patronizes those he disagrees with. He did this a little in Charismatic Chaos, though I do agree with the position he holds on the gifts. Likewise, he did so with the Amillennial position at the Shep Conf. this year. I would say, however, that Reformed or not, I'm not a big fan of the EC movement, though I do think that they recognize some real errors in evangelicalism today. I just don't agree with how they are going about fixing these errors. Hey Bradley,
