Mars Hill and the New Calvinists



New York Times ran this piece on Mark Driscoll and Mars Hill Church in Seattle. It's a fair look at both him and the New Calvinists movement. (I think I just used "New York Times" and "fair" in the same sentence!).

I do not necessarily like Driscoll and his too-cool-for-school attitude, but I appreciate how his ministry shows that people will come when a church has solid, theological teaching. Someone should tell this to feel-good Joel Osteen.

One note of correction: John Calvin did not have heretics burned at the stake.

Read the article.
