Stetzer has just published a lengthy article in The Journal for Baptist Theology and Ministry.(go to page 62 to read the article)

Among the more surprising quotes in the article is this from Leonard Sweet:

The emerging church has become another form of social gospel. And the problem with every social gospel is that it becomes all social and no gospel. All social justice and no social gospel. It is embarrassing that evangelicals have discovered and embraced liberation theology after it destroyed the main line, old line, side line, off line, flat line church.
