Can’t Wait For Wittmer
Mike Wittmer (author of the excellent book Heaven is a Place on Earth) has a new book coming out in October entitled Don’t Stop Believing: Why Living Like Jesus is not Enough. It addresses concerns about some (especially emergent church people) who stress orthopraxy to the neglect of orthodoxy. He addresses some of the critical doctrinal issues on which there’s been some re-engineering. This is his concern:
Evangelicals who reject the narrow fundamentalism of previous generations are in danger of over-correction. Don’t Stop Believing is an urgent call for both right practice and right belief. Our concern for social issues must not diminish the core doctrines of our faith. We must not stop believing.
As his previous book proved to be, this one looks like another tour de force.
