She compares the Great Emergence to other "Greats" in the history of Christianity, including the Great Transformation (when God walked among us), the time of Gregory the Great, the Great Schism, and the Great Reformation. Combining history, a look at the causes of social upheaval, and current events, The Great Emergence shows readers what the Great Emergence in church and culture is, how it came to be, and where it is going. Anyone who is interested in the future of the church in America, no matter what their personal affiliation, will find this book a fascinating exploration. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great Springboard for DiscussionPhyllis Tickle's books are always intelligent and thought-provoking. "The Great Emergence: How Christianity is Changing and Why" is no exception. Following in the footsteps of the Papacy of Gregory the Great (@ 590), the Great Schism (1054) and the Great Reformation (1517), the Great Emergence refers to the massive changes going on in the Christian faith and society at large in our present day.

I've read Phyllis Tickle's work in the past and have been amazed at her command of the language. Her ability to translate complex ideas and vivid images into captivating prose is undoubtedly impressive, and her latest work is no exception. The ideas contained in The Great Emergence cannot be ignored, and will surely be of vast importance for "emergers," "emergents," ... Read More Rating: - Keep movingTo move is to emerge, and become what you are destined to be. HOORAY for writers like Tickle who amuse and amaze you with their insights on the church's future. Don't dispair, there is HOPE for the future if we go back to the basics and learn to love our neighbors and to care for the poor. Rating: - a better-than-average emergenceMuch of what Tickle's book is can be summarized in her own statement capturing the sentiment of Anglican bishop, Mark Dyer: ". . . that the only way to understand what is currently happening to us as twenty-first-century Christians in North America is first to understand that about every five hundred years the Church feels compelled to hold a giant rummage sale" (16). Indeed, this is a more accurate reflection that might initially be recognized and Tickle's rendering of church and history follow along such ... Read More Rating: - The Great EmergenceUp until a few months ago I'd never heard of Phyllis Tickle, but a few weeks ago I ordered her latest book The Great Emergence; How Christianity is Changing and Why It arrived from the US on Friday; it's only a short book (162pages) so I read most of it the following day. Tickle (refreshingly) is not an academic or theologian, but is recognized by CNN, USA TODAY, NEWSWEEK, TIME and The NEW YORK TIMES as one of the most respected authorities on religion in the US, she is also the founding ...
