New Book - Understanding Evangelism
I am pleased to share my next book, Understanding Evangelism: Biblical Foundations, Historical Developments, Contemporary Applications, is now available for pre-order. It is scheduled to be released in September 2025. As of now, I have been able to locate the lowest price (30% off) at the publisher's web site. However, check Amazon too, as their prices are always fluctuating.
This is a comprehensive work. It is written for a diverse audience and considers the global application of the gospel beyond the U. S. context. Thoroughly evangelical, I also address definitions and historical matters related to Mainline, Catholic, and Orthodox traditions. The biblical and theological sections expose readers to Wesleyan-Arminian, Reformed-Calvinist, and Molinist views. Evangelism is understood as a work that is consists of crossing cultural gaps with the good news--whether those gaps are found one's home or on the other side of the world. Though the work trends toward the practical, it does not teach one contemporary evangelism model.
I have posted below the Table of Contents from the unpublished manuscript for an overview.
I do hope you will get a copy, post a review of it at Amazon, and/or write a review for a journal.
My professor friends: Would you please consider using this as a textbook? Exam copies are available through Baker Academic. If you use it, I would love to know! What questions do you have about the book?
