"This Jesus"
God's One and Only Son
Our One and Only Savior
Let
me tell you why I wrote this little book.
First of all, I love Jesus and I welcome any means of telling others about Him.
Second, I am troubled by "emergent theory" that is moving toward an "emergent
church."
Leaders of this "conversation" or "movement" call themselves "post-modern" and I
guess if you need a tag that one is about as good as another. My concern about
them springs from their distortions of Scripture and their diminishing of Jesus
...
More disturbing to me is the fact that the Jesus they talk about is not the
Jesus of Scripture ...
Only the Jesus disclosed to us in the New Testament is relevant to our times and
adequate for our salvation. To diminish Him is to destroy ourselves.
