Andrew Jones top five American books on the emerging church:1. Emerging Churches: Creating Christian Community in Postmodern Cultures, by Ryan Bolger and Eddie Gibbs. Top leaders interviewed, well informed conclusions, a few points of disagreement (doctrine REALLY IS important to us) but its by far the best book. See my review and some others2. The New Conspirators, Creating the Future One Mustard Seed at a Time, by Tom Sine. Great book by a well known leader who probably has more perspective on this movement than anyone. Tom’s book is crammed with examples and will widen and deepen your understanding of the EC.
3. The Emerging Church, by Dan Kimball. Widely received and appreciated. My comments here with links to Dan’s history of the words “emergent” and “emerging”
4. The Church on the Other Side, by Brian McLaren, was for many of us, the first book that said what we wanted to say or at least what we were thinking. Brian can be a controversial figure in Church circles and I don’t know anyone who would agree with everything he says but he has consistently verbalized emerging church issues for the last decade with astonishingly clarity.5. A list on a number of possible books for the 5th spot.
