"THE HOLY SPIRIT" AND "EVANGELISM" ARE topics frequently discussed separately but seldom in relation to one another. This study places the preaching and believing of the gospel in the wider context of the Holy Spirit's work in creation, history, and the church. Of particular interest are the ways three important and debated issues are treated. First, how can church life model the truths expressed in the preached gospel? Second, is there a "theology of the miraculous" which can be found in Scripture and applied to the modern world? Third, in the search to make our preaching effective, have we lost sight of the place of spiritual and moral authenticity? Combining insights from theologians and pastors working in the First, Second, and Third Worlds, this book is a testimony to the power of God's Word to unite people of different languages and cultures. It will appeal to clergy and serious readers interested in seeing the gospel preached authentically in the modern world. DAVID F.
