International Journal For the Study of the Christian Church

Last year I got an email from John Drane inviting me to contribute an article to a forthcoming theological journal. I wrote the article and sent if off and was pleased to hear that it had been accepted. A couple of days ago I received another email to say that the journal is in the final stages of editing and will be published later this month or early next month...I'm a bit nervous now...I've never had my thoughts published before...Anyway you can buy it online here.

The list of contributors is impressive and includes:

SCOTT BADER-SAYE
Improvising Church: An Introduction to the Emerging Church Conversation
BEN EDSON
An Exploration into the Missiology of the Emerging Church in the UK Through the
Narrative of Sanctus1
GLADYS GANIEL
Emerging from the Evangelical Subculture in Northern Ireland: An Analysis of the Zero28 and ikon Community

KEES DE GROOT
The Church in Liquid Modernity: A Sociological and Theological Exploration of a Liquid Church

As well as this the following books are being reviewed: Eddie Gibbs & Ryan K Bolger, Emerging Churches: creating Christian community in Postmodern Cultures; D A Carson, Becoming Conversant with the Emerging Church; Kester Brewin, The Complex Christ; and Steve Taylor, The Out of Bounds Church?

... and a good article it is too Ben!! I wouldn't worry. I'll wait til it's published generally before making any specific comments though! Cheers

Well done. Publishing can be tricky, but very rewarding. Any other writing projects on the go?

Congratulations for the publication of the Joirnal,and good thing that you contribute in the forthcoming theological journal,about the Church you wrote so this is a great thing,and i will say that the emerging church referred to as the emergent movement or emergent conversation,for the church this is excellent,and also about believe the movement transcends such modernist labels of conservative and liberal, calling the movement,so this is a good job you done.
