DESCRIPTION

Christians and communities of faith today are rediscovering evangelism as an essential aspect of the church’s mission. Many of the resulting books in the marketplace, however, have a hands-on orientation, often lacking serious theological engagement and reflection.

Bucking that how-to trend, The Study of Evangelism offers thirty groundbreaking essays that plumb the depths of the biblical and theological heritage of the church with reference to evangelistic practice. Helpfully organized into six categories, these broad, diverse writings lay a solid scholarly foundation for meaningful dialogue about the church’s practice of evangelism.

“The wait has been worth it. Finally we have a collection of essays on evangelism to treasure that will only appreciate in value. The tone of the editors and the texture of their selections make this a book that will be invaluable for years to come.” - Leonard Sweet, Drew University, George Fox University
