I’m not a big “here’s what I’m reading” guy, but since my blog is slowing down (and soon to take a major revision in focus and design), I figured why not drop a few quick posts on some good reads of late.

I’m about halfway through this one. Wells follows the path evangelicalism has taken since WWII. The book is essentially a compilation of four previous works from Wells, all boiled down into 250 pages. It’s more of a historical apologetic (a-la Os Guinness) than a theological breakdown. Intriguing stuff.

Among other things he makes insightful observations on the similarities between the business-model marketing folks and the emergent crowd (that’s right…I said similarities, those two groups are never seen in parallel from any angle).

He also argues for how and why evangelicals are now fragmenting into three distinct groups and looks at the heritage and future of those paths.

If you’re in church leadership at any level or are someone who thinks about why churches do what they do…I recommend it.
