Moving Beyond Labels: Eschatology

The progressive/emergent label that has been slapped onto some circles of Christianity has been gaining popularity and perhaps credibility. If such alterations make Christianity more fashionable, acceptable, or are even necessary in a relativistic, pluralistic, and postmodern world is an interesting debate. Myles wrote an article today that moves beyond the conflict between titles such as progressive and fundamental, drawing attention to a more important branch of theology: eschatology.
