Mission Shaped Evangelism

Description

This landmark book will renew our understanding of what the good news about Jesus means for today. It begins with a key challenge – do we believe God speaks in the cultural context, or only in the Christian tradition??Part One Listening to God in the cultural context explores the radically changing culture in which the church exists today, the rise of new spiritualities, the secularisation of society and religion’s increasingly dubious public image. Part Two Listening to God in the Christian tradition looks at key periods in Christian history as responses to cultural changes, from the ancient pagan world to modernist faith. What can we learn from the lessons of the past? Part Three moves from theory to practice and tells great stories where innovative evangelism is taking place – from supermarkets to festivals to the internet, and other surprising contexts.
