Interesting catagories, but as a Reformed pastor in the Reformed Church in America, your assessment doesn't quite square. While we are concerned for individual salvation, we are also concerned for community building. For instance, one of church taglines is "Touching and Transforming Lives and Communities."

I know this post is old and the conversation over, but I loved this post so much I’ve taken your stuff and run with it, with the help of Robert Webber too. I’d love to hear if I’m getting what you’re saying. If you get a chance, take a look and let me know what you think: http://michaeldefazio.wordpress.com/2009/05/27/evangelical-missional-taxonomy/

Your instinct that some of the differences in this broad group are driven by a particular stance to culture and approach to knowledge, rooted (transparently) in various traditions, is solid. I’m thinking this overlaps with Bob Webber’s work in The Younger Evangelicals. I’ll blog some thoughts on this. That epistemology is connected to community – how we know and sense of “self” as Cartesian vs pre-modern view .. also helpful. Anthropology anyone? I’m thinking of Owen Barfields work and pre-critical stance — our current views often thrown in the basket of “Hellenistic” vs Hebrew modes — but how these postures and ways of being (how we have been formed) impact our place in the conversation – very useful.
