A perceptive review of Mark Driscoll

Thanks to my mate Grant Beringer for this link. A perceptive and balanced view on Mark Driscoll. I certainly wouldn’t commend Driscoll without reservation. This article is helpful.

Reviews by Mike McKinley

My only quibble with the review is when he comments on Driscoll’s “intentionally irreverent and contrarian” tone and asks “Is it possible that Driscoll, ironically, has failed to tailor his message to the audience?” and that “Where [Driscoll] really has an opportunity to change people’s minds would be among the strongly conservative Christians—the legalist-leaning ones—who tend towards withdrawal as opposed to engagement.” I think Driscoll is deliberately not engaging them but those who are disenchanted with the conservative churches. The language that offends the conservatives is attractive to these people because it offends the conservatives. I think hes real savvy on working out who he can reach effectively!
