Dr. Bock,

Thanks for your assessment. I am curious, in your research of the Christology of the "Emerging movement," which authors and/or works did you interact with? There is a pretty wide spectrum of beliefs out there.

While I think Christology is one of the doctrines that the emerging folks generally get right, some are getting a lot of their thoughts about Jesus from Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan. That's not to say that we shouldn't interact with Borg and Crossan or that they don't get anything right, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see some lower Christology from some of the emerging folks in the future.
