BOOKS ABOUT EVANGELISM IN GENERAL
The Celtic Way of Evangelism: How Christianity Can Reach the West Again
by George G. Hunter
Celtic Christianity: the form of Christian faith that flourished among the people of Ireland during the Middle Ages has gained a great deal of attention lately. George G. Hunter III points out that, while the attention paid to the Celtic Christians is well deserved, much of it fails to recognize the true genius of this ancient form of Christianity. What many contemporary Christians do not realize is that Celtic Christianity was one of the most successfully evangelistic branches of the church in history. North America is today in the same situation as the environment in which the early Celtic preachers found their mission fields: unfamiliar with the Christian message, yet spiritually seeking, and open to a vibrant new faith. If we are to spread the gospel in this culture of secular seekers, we would do well to learn from the Celts. $10.20
Ancient-Future Evangelism: Making Your Church a Faith-Forming Community
by Robert E. Webber
Ancient-Future Evangelism situates evangelism in the mission and worship of God and explores what church-based conversion looks like, reflecting on its implications for discipleship and spiritual formation. Rooted in historical models and patristic church studies, yet in tune with today's culture, this book will help professors and students of evangelism, pastors, and church leaders examine the processes of evangelism and spiritual formation. $10.19
Evangelism in the Early Church
by Michael Green
Now a modern classic, Michael Green's Evangelism in the Early Church provides a comprehensive look at the ways the first Christians — from the New Testament period up until the middle of the third century — worked to spread the good news to the rest of the world. In describing life in the early church, Green explores crucial aspects of the evangelistic task that have direct relevance for similar work today, including methods, motives, and strategies. He assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the evangelistic approaches used by the earliest Christians, and he also considers the obstacles to evangelism, using outreach to Gentiles and to Jews as examples of differing contexts for proclamation. Carefully researched and frequently quoting primary sources from the early church, this book will both show contemporary readers what can be learned from the past and help renew their own evangelistic vision. $16.50
I believe that the internet provides today's church with a historic opportunity .... to tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love in ways which could only have been imagined in times past. The objective of this website is to explore the various ways in which today's technology can be used to spread the gospel around the world.
