I agree with that. I remember when Franky (son of Francis) Schaeffer made the move to EO many (~20?) years ago, there was a lot of discussion about the 'draw' of EO. I was a youth pastor in the early 2000s and saw a lot of the pomo types wanting the experience of and perceived connection to 'historic' worship or the 'ancient' church but without the doctrinal "baggage." The 'emergent' movement was all the rage then. Thankfully at that time I was listening to John Piper quite a bit, who--despite his other faults--emphasized the life of the mind, and the clarity of Scripture, which probably immunized me a bit against the pomo trend. The question behind the questions is almost always, "has God spoken to us, in a way that we can understand, such that we can _know_ ?"
I believe Scripture's answer to that question is 'yes, he has.'
