The Colson-McLaren Conversation



Inspired by a conversation with Scott, I wanted to post easy links to these articles... Chuck Colson, a leader of the modern evangelical church and Brian McLaren, a generally accepted leader of the emerging movement/conversation wrote some articles and letters addressing each other a few years back.

The Postmodern Crackup - Chuck Colson (12/03)

An Open Letter to Chuck Colson - Brian McLaren

Chuck Colson's Response - Chuck Colson

Emerging Confusion - Chuck Colson (6/06)

I think both men have some excellent points. I think it is, however, reasonably clear that postmodernism is not on its way out in the culture. Who is "right"? I do not know but I have to respect intelligent reasoned discourse between two obviously deep thinkers...
