184 p. ; 21 cm. COMPLETE EVANGELISM Western culture has led many Christians to think that evangelism and social action are totally different endeavors. That idea became entrenched during the debate between fundamentalism and modernism. Even today, many evangelicals are suspicious of social action, and many liberals are wary of personal evangelism. Followers of Jesus who accept both still ponder how to prioritize personal and social elements in outreach. An overview of Luke-Acts calls us back to a biblical base. It reveals a wholistic evangelism where personal and social concerns are equally significant. Gospel proclamation, fellowship, and service offer hope to those enmeshed in personal and social sins. This gospel challenges spiritually and socially those who oppose the reign of God. Thus Luke-Acts presents a prophetic evangelism that shares the total, whole, transforming grace and love of our Lord. "In an age when Christians are commonly told that working for social justice is like 'polishing brass on a sinking ship, this book contains a needed message." -Mark Horne, in Bookstore Journal "This is more than a book on evangelism, more than a commentary on Luke-Acts, more than a discussion of an issue in missiological theory. It is all of these. However, it is also a passionate, sensitive, careful, and clear call to the church to offer our world today the gospel of Jesus Christ in all its transformational fullness. -Charles Van Engen School of World Mission Fuller Theological Seminary Church work Church and social problems Missions Evangelistic work Criticism, interpretation, etc 269.20836190459 Perpustakaan STTB Bandung Theological Seminary 269.2 May c E07005824 Non Fiction 269.2 May c Complete_Evangelism.jpg 17238 1996-07-19 00:00:00 2026-04-18 08:20:12 machine generated
