emergent cohort
For the Atlanta Emergent Cohort in the months of September and October we will be discussing the unpublished edition of Scot McKnight’s new book on Atonement. Abingdon Press has invited out cohort to read, discuss for the purpose of engaging the book with the Emergent Conversation before its final edits.
We will meet this month on the usual last Tuesday, Sept 26 at 5 Seasons Brewing, located in the Prado on Roswell Road (for you Northies to get there), from 8-10 pm.
We will
start the discussion next week, September 26, and you are encouraged to
begin reading the attached parts. We will guide September’s
introductory discussion around the Prologue and Part 1: "Atonement and
Emergence: Where Are We?" Anyone is welcome to join us, read what you
can and be a part of making this book happen.
The full
discussion with guests from Abingdon Press and free drinks (from
Abingdon) will be in October, earlier in the month, Tuesday October
17th location TBA.
Our input from both conversations will be sent back to McKight & Abingdon and reflected in the final edits of the book.
There
is a Prologue and five parts, please download them in PDF form below. Please erase these when we are done on the 17th (so pay good attention and
rememer what you can). They will not be available after October 17, and
we have been asked not to post contents of the book yet or to pass it
along to anyone. The published manuscript is due to be out in 2007 (so
be fair and be patient).
(these are no longer available for download)
enjoy!

new to atlanta– the 5 seasons link didn’t work. i googled and i assume you meant “5 seasons brewing”? don’t want to end up in the wrong place.
Hey Troy,
Welcome to the blogosphere! Not to be a total ass, but if you were “asked not to post contents of the book yet or to pass it along to anyone” ummmm why are you posting these on your blog?! 
Shalom,
Steve K.
I’m going to write a paper on atonement for my systematic theology class. I’m very interested in atonement and incarnation as metaphor. Are you familiar with John Hick’s book, The Metaphor of God Incarnate?
troy - infamously enjoyable series of photos of you at our wedding:
http://www.davidallenstudios.smugmug.com/gallery/1705948 - the password is katie - go to page 42 and look at photos 626-630. if that’s not movement as art i don’t know what is.
I’m impressed with the work that is going into this, and the weight of importance that it carries. Wish I could be there. Blessings upon it! But what does it tell about a person who, upon reading your blog, vividly remembers only that it is meeting in a brewery with free drinks? Did I just write that out loud? thus spoke churchpundit!
