Exploration of Faith and Emerging Church Resources

Many new resources on the topic of the emerging church are available at the Resource Center.

Logos Productions is highlighting a recent book by Marcus Borg, The Heart of Christianity together with two very interesting companion resources:

  • Experiencing the Heart of Christianity is a 12 session program for small groups led by Tim Scorer and Borg (accompanying DVD) divided into two main parts: Seeing the Christian Tradition Again and Seeing the Christian Life Again.
  • Living the Heart of Christianity–also a companion to Borg’s book–is a guide for putting faith into action.

Tom Wright, whose New Testament work continues to enrich Christian life and study, has recently produced Simply Christian: Why Christianity Makes Sense. He offers a fresh presentation of the timeless truths of Christianity making the case that faith is reasonable and rewarding for us today. In this ten session course, Wright expands on the themes of his acclaimed book “Simply Christian” in video-based lessons.

LeaderResources has given us a preview copy of The Many Faces of God: An Interfaith Encounter for Youth and Adults by Denise Yarbrough. For ongoing study of interfaith issues, this provides a very thorough process for learning about other traditions. More information available at www.leaderresources.org (external link)

Additional new resources on emerging church topics include:

  • Faith in Action: A Campaign Kit” for helping congregations think about church outside the church walls
  • Three new NOOMA films: You, Today, and Name
  • A book, Christianity for the Rest of Us by Diana Butler Bass
