An interesting post over at Dan Kimball’s blog, delineating (according to one perspective) a variety of influencer’s views on the scales of orthodoxy.

There is so much static around all this stuff it’s incredible.
I’ve read Brian McLaren’’s books, and some of Tony Jones stuff, and I am currently working with Doug Pagitt (who seems to be on the heretical bubble!) according to this post…
Most critics of these guys haven’t really read anything they have written–just the blurbs and rants written about them by more conservative critics.
But what what exactly is everybody so scared about by these thinkers?!I it must be like the sixteenth century when every new speculation rocked the church ark!
boy, names & everything…gutsy!
Hey Dan,
great link, i’ve been reading some of that post and the various comments. On one hand I understand the compulsion to want to “chart people” on the other I don’t find it that helpful. It reminds me of a converstaion i had with one of our elders about Rob Bell, he was very concered about some quotes from “Velvet Elvis” and labeled Bell a universalist/newage-er/liberal thus he must not have anything good to say. I try to find the truth and life in what people write without needing to agree with them or catogorize them nessesary. It seems like many of the Bigest critics of Emerging writers don’t interact with the larger theme but pick out of context quotes to drive there heretical accusations.
anyhow – my two cents
ps. where would Rob Bell fit on that chart?
I agree, Chad, it may not be helpful. I did find it interesting how Dan spoke to the charts – which might be more why I linked to it. Good thoughts.
Nothing new.
Athanasius thought Arius was the devil.
where is Arius on the chart?
