PRAISE FOR THE NEW CHRISTIANS

"Jones provides the single best introduction to the Emergent Church Movement."
—Publishers Weekly

"Reading these words you feel things bursting back to life inside you. It is some kind of re-enlightenment, an awakening in the most noble and holistic sense of the world, a thing coming to take hold. Tony's writing is generous and clear."
—David Crowder, SINGER, SONGWRITER, AND LEADER OF THE DAVID CROWDER BAND

"The New Christians shows how the influence of Jesus of Nazareth is moving among a new generation hungry for something real and desperate to move beyond simplistic polarities inherited from the past. Tony Jones stands at the crossroads of theology, philosophy, and culture, tackling the issues...with depth, humility, and grace???"
—Jim Wallis, AUTHOR, GOD'S POLITICS; PRESIDENT, SOJOURNERS/CALL TO RENEWAL

"I devoured this book! Just as A New Kind of Christian gave words to the experiences and thoughts of so many early in this decade, The New Christians provides language, theology, and a nudge toward a path out of our bipolar morass of left vs. right, liberal vs. conservative, mainline vs. evangelical.... Tony's book will provide...new hope for those who cannot (or refuse to) continue trudging numbly along the cattle paths of the American church."
—Mark Oestreicher, PRESIDENT, YOUTH SPECIALTIES

"Every thinking Christian should read this book either for the explication or the explanation. Wise ones will read it for both."
—Phyllis Tickle, COMPILER, THE DIVINE HOURS, AND AUTHOR, THE WORDS OF JESUS
