Publisher's Description
Evangelism has entered a new day. From the 1980s to the present a vast array of new forms of evangelism have emerged, shaped and informed by theological reflection on the good news of Jesus Christ and the mission of God. Rejecting the reduced and formulaic forms of evangelism typical of most of the twentieth century, these newer approaches speak more of the reign and love of God, relationship and community, and both personal and social transformation. They are very diverse, but each has something to contribute to how we understand and practice evangelism. This book is a doorway into these theologies of evangelism and their fresh and dynamic ways of sharing the good news.

“For ministers and leaders desiring a ‘theological turn’ in evangelism, Henry Knight delivers a needed resource. Knight leads readers through the theological basics to a rich array of evangelistic approaches emphasizing personal response and social action through individual appeal and community efforts, all while respecting differing traditions. Knight expands the reader’s view from simple Great Commission obedience to a missional love from God, for neighbor, consistent with the proclamation of the good news for everyone.”
“Henry Knight’s survey of recent theologies of evangelism illustrates the necessity of formation and theological reflection in developing authentic practices. Sharing the good news of Jesus Christ should be grounded in God’s mission, not in the latest program or best practice, which are rarely effective. Evangelism Renewed serves as an excellent introduction for leaders looking to create an evangelistic culture that is theologically grounded and relevant.”
“For anyone seeking a comprehensive and insightful understanding of evangelism there is no better text. Knight pulls together the various theological approaches from various camps and offers his own unique perspective on why they all have value. Anyone studying evangelism should read this book.”
