The Emerging Church movement developed in the mid-1990s among
primarily white, urban, middle-class pastors and laity who were
disenchanted with America's conservative Evangelical sub-culture.
It is a response to the increasing divide between conservative
Evangelicals and concerned critics who strongly oppose what they
consider overly slick, corporate, and consumerist versions of
faith. A core feature of their response is a challenge to
traditional congregational models, often focusing on new church
plants and creating networks of related house churches. Drawing on
three years of ethnographic fieldwork, James S. Bielo explores the
impact of the Emerging Church movement on American Evangelicals. He
combines ethnographic analysis with discussions of the movement's
history, discursive contours, defining practices, cultural logics,
and contentious interactions with conservative Evangelical critics
to rethink the boundaries of "Evangelical" as a category.
Ultimately, Bielo makes a novel contribution to our understanding
of the important changes at work among American Protestants, and
illuminates how Emerging Evangelicals interact with the cultural
conditions of modernity, late modernity, and visions of
"postmodern" Christianity.
