Evangelism Renewed: The Theological Revisioning of Evangelism

Evangelism has entered a new day. From the 1980s to the present a vast array of new forms of evangelism have emerged, shaped and informed by theological reflection on the good news of Jesus Christ and the mission of God. Rejecting the reduced and formulaic forms of evangelism typical of most of the twentieth century, these newer approaches speak more of the reign and love of God, relationship and community, and both personal and social transformation. They are very diverse, but each has something to contribute to how we understand and practice evangelism. This book is a doorway into these theologies of evangelism and their fresh and dynamic ways of sharing the good news.
