Rick Warren and the Purpose-Driven Controversy

Date July 26, 2005 Posted by Roger Overton

This week I'll be posting my interview with Richard Abanes, author of the new book Rick Warren and the Purpose that Drives Him.
Richard has written numerous books on subjects ranging from Mormon
history, the occult, the Da Vinci Code, and end-time visions- just to
name a few topics. I'll be posting Part One of the interview tommorow,
but in the meantime there's plenty of reading out there on the
subject…




Richard Abanes has posted a large handful of responses to critics on his site- Information About Rick Warren.



Tim Challies has challenged the marketing used to promote The Purpose Driven Life.



Lighthouse Trails Research Project has criticized Warren for being associated with the Emerging Church, Robert Schuller, and Ken Blanchard. They also don't like his Global P.E.A.C.E. plan.



Here are several articles against Rick Warren's theology and use of Scripture.



My Fortress has very extensive writings against Rick Warren on a number of levels.



Greg Koukl mentions the “40 Days of Purpose” program in his commentary on seeker-centered churches.
