“Upon those who step into the same rivers, different and again different
waters flow.”

Over 2500 years have passed, but Heraclitos’ wisdom remains salient. None
would deny that there are dominant movements and perspectives; yet, every

flux. Each year generates a new approach and a new trend â€" a new branch
from the old.

Emerging Studies: a call for scholars concerned with the emerging church movement

I am seeking academic collaborators (faculty, graduate students, independents) who are
interested in sharing their scholarship on the emerging church. While any project would
inevitably include theological considerations, interdisciplinary approaches to the movement are
of particular interest:
- religious studies
- cultural studies
- literary and political theory
- literature
- history
- philosophy
- anthropology
- political science
