Deep Church:
A Third Way Beyond Emerging and Traditional
By Jim Belcher (IVP, 2009)

“When we become more humble in our beliefs, we are willing to see that our own denominations or traditions do not have a corner on all truth, and we become more open to dialogue with other traditions. We might find that we are sometimes wrong and the different perspective will correct our error. But even where we are right, the dialogue can improve, sharpen and enliven our perspective and give nuance to our understandings.” –Jim Belcher, from the book
