At the 2006 Shepherd’s Conference, Phil Johnson of Grace to You made a stunning statement about the Emergent Church. In his commissioned studies of the Emergent movement, he states, “This may help you more than anything I have said so far to understand the flavor of the “emerging church movement”: Bono—the Irish rocker and politico of U2 fame—seems to be the unofficial icon of the movement.” Johnson continues, “If you’ve been tuned into pop-culture at any time over the past two decades and know anything about Bono, that might help you to grasp something about the look and feel of the movement.” In studying the Emergent Church and seeing the leaders of the movement like Rob Bell, Brian McLaren, Doug Pagitt, Tony Campolo, Leonard Sweet and even Mark Driscoll quoting and exalting Bono, I can agree with Phil Johnson that “Emergent types seem to quote Bono all the time.” Johnson concludes that Bono “seems to be the chief theologian of the ‘emerging church movement’” holybibleprophecy.org/2012/08/12/u2-frontman-bono-christian-or-antichrist-by-elliott-nesch/
