Strong and Fair
It's been noted that most emergent tomes are being written by folks in their 30's (or so) while the "rebuttal books" are coming from folks older than that (sometimes significantly so). Here's an exception, and it's not to be easily dismissed. DeYoung and Kluck demonstrate theological maturity and writing prowess beyond their years.
They're fair with the emergents - letting their writings speak for themselves - and their strong and direct (and biblically-grounded) in thei critiques and correctives. They also offer compelling "on-the-street" observations (especially from Kluck's chapters) that gently poke at the weaknesses of the emergents (and their symantic stretches and foibles).
Also, despite the thoroughness of their research, this is a nice and readable book. Well done.
