What's Emerging in the Emerging Church, by Scott Diekmann
Diekmann writes the apologetics column for the Brothers of John the Steadfast website. This booklet is a compilation of his series on the emerging church. The emerging church is a postmodern version of Christianity that is big on accommodating the culture and short on doctrinal purity. It has affected many Lutheran parishes. This booklet will help you better understand the problems with adjusting church to match the culture and will encourage you to work for a more authentic and historical form of the church in your own parish. This would be a great book for an elders Bible study.
