Bill Hull’s passion has been to help the church return to its disciple making roots and he considers himself a discipleship evangelist. This God-given desire has manifested itself in twenty years of pastoral service and the authorship of ten books. His first book, Jesus Christ Disciplemaker, is celebrating 20 years with a new edition. The Disciple Making Pastor and the Disciple Making Church are two successive books which make up his popular disciple making trilogy. These books have provided the church with a new paradigm for disciple making.
When it comes to issues of salvation, that is what divides us most. Unless and until McLaren holds to the "faith once for all delivered to the saints" regarding salvation, then I'll likely not read him, no matter how sincere or challenging he might be.
I'm curious, how do you view Carson's Becoming Conversant with the Emerging Church and his critique there of McLaren? I did not see Carson offering McLaren as a gift to the church.
Sincerely,
Paul D. Adams
