In Chpater 6 Belcher analyses both traditionalists (if in UK read conservative evangelical)  and emergents. Traditionalists, emergents claim,  are in danger of reducing the gospel to individual salvation. Emergents, traditionalists claim,  are in danger of reducing the gospel to cosmic and social dimensions. Belcher encourages both sides to embrace Deep Gospel

‘The way forward is to realize that each accuses the other of reducing the gospel. The traditional church argues the emerging church has reduced the gospel to social action and the emerging church contends that the traditional church has reduced the message of salvation to individual salvation. But according to Darrel Guder’s book ‘The Continuing conversion of the CHurch’, all reductions are wrong… Guder points out that ‘our greatest priority, particularly in our theologies of salvation, should be to join the benefits of salvation with the responsibilities and call to the saved to enter into God’s mission in the world. Recognizing this truth  is the first step in moving beyond the impasse’
