I would say a main point of tension would be “certainty.”
Not to say that emerging thought is any less certain of the theological conclusions, but rather, the road to those conclusions is a bit different.

Mainstream evangelical theology is more formulaic such as A + B = C.

Emerging theology would still conclude with “c” but it would look more like ‘once upon a time… = C.

It’s a case of propositional versus narrative; logical certainty versus critical assurance.

what think ye?
