What does Christianity have to say about the salvation of the African tribesman who died before the missionaries arrived, and the ""great sorrow"" of the Messianic Jew who grieves for family and friends who did not or will not acknowledge his Jesus as their Messiah? C. S. Lewis said these outsiders represent the ""scandal of exclusivity."" Jim Geiger is a Christian insider and fully committed to the exclusivity of Christ''s atonement. However, he is suggesting an expanded Christology where:- The constant speed of light in E = mc2 corroborates the constant Christ of Heb 13:8.- Special and general relativity model special and general revelation.- The Christ of general revelation represents the hope of salvation for some of Christianity''s outsiders.

Description:The term ""emerging church"" causes confusion, conflict, and contention whenever it is used. Still, the emerging movement is spreading across America and around the world. Young adults from the millennial or mosaic generation are flocking back to church in droves, when the church speaks relevantly to them.The impact of emerging churches reaches far beyond the narrow walls of church buildings. The millennial generation is content with nothing less than a holy revolution in society. These eager young people purpose to transform the cities of America and the world through living the life of Jesus.Emerging believers are more concerned with life than with doctrine. They are committed to orthopraxy (true behavior) and not just dead orthodoxy. This propels them into situations foreign to most Christ followers. Their aim is a conquest of cities for Christ, and to that end they live out the Jesus life in every aspect of community.""Authenticity"" is their watchword. They are resolved to be real in an unreal world. Members of the emerging churches keep each other honest before God, and they accept nothing less than committed Christian character. The result is a growing revival among the emerging churches.Endorsements:""This book is an encouragement. God is on the move.
