![]() ![]() ![]() Nevertheless, this review will be more critical of Garrison’s hermeneutic, his missiological pragmatism, his advocacy of rapidly reproducing churches, and the very thin ecclesiology of church planting movements (CPMs).Ĭhurch Planting Movements used to be required reading for all Southern Baptist Convention International Missionary Board personnel and is still read widely inside and outside of the IMB. I cursorily checked online reviews of this book and found mostly uncritical, breathless accolades, probably because most readers want to celebrate God’s work redeeming a lost world. At best, David Garrison’s book Church Planting Movements falls into this category for me. In that situation, I might recommend the book, but only if the reader has good biblical and theological instincts, and even then with all the requisite qualifications. Sometimes a book contains important biblical truths and helpful suggestions even though its theological methodology or hermeneutic is flawed. Church Planting Movements: How God Is Redeeming a Lost World.
