EVANGELISMP BOTTOM UP

There are two realities about evangelism that comprise the assumptions of this book:

The world is going urban, and evangelism cannot be separated from ethics.

emical The task of evangelism cannot ignore the reality of urban life and the issues that emerge in an urban setting. Nor can it turn away from the ethical malaise and nihilism that we see so dominant in in public affairs and economic activities. "Theology must inform evangelism, must be the bedrock of its entire enterprise. And evangelism must be an exercise in theological ethics.

In this book Bill Pannell confronts his reader with truths that sting, with opinions that provoke, and with a vision that demands responses. He is calling his readers to awaken from the numbing vision complacency induced by our misguided activities in evangelism and our focus on technique.

"If evangelism is the means by which a holy God offers forgiveness to a fallen race, then the Good News is intended to address the bad news of a profound sinfulness."
