A Poorly Researched Hack-Job, 2007-08-29MacAruthur's strengths have typically been in exposition, though one must always be careful to separate his systematic theological interpretations. As with previous works on criticizing entire segments of Christianity, this book is heavy on polemic and shallow on any actual research into the subject.
Beyond evaluating the writings of Brian MacLaren (who is not at the center of emerging churches), and doing cursory (at best) research on the subject, MacArthur ends up slandering a huge number of Christians and makes himself look more foolish than his targets. However, if you buy 3 or 4 copies of this book, it will make a good, though expensive, doorstop.
For a better picture, I would suggest Mark Driscoll's writing on the Emerging/Emergent church (if you're a Calvinist) or Dan Kimball's writing (if you're not a 5-pointer).
