Tony Jones and Collin Hansen in Dialogue

Tony Jones, national coordinator of Emergent Village, and author of The New Christians: Dispatches from the Emergent Frontier, and Collin Hansen, editor-at-large of Christianity Today, and author of Young, Restless, Reformed: A Journalist’s Journey with the New Calvinists, have begun a dialogue at Christianity Today:

The books and movements share a number of themes: reaction against entertainment-driven church life, desire for transcendence, rediscovery of tradition, and a need to answer common misconceptions about the movements. Christianity Today invited Hansen and Jones to read each other’s books and discuss how the rise of one movement might illuminate aspects of the rise of the other. Are both movements scratching the same itch? Are there internal tensions in one movement that also appear in the other? The conversation will continue over several days.
