A New and Ancient Evangelism

Evangelism & Missions

“Many Christians in the West struggle to articulate their faith with sensitivity and integrity in a pluralistic and secular world. Judith Paulsen draws on her many years of teaching evangelism to offer a thoughtful and theological approach that equips people for witness, using stories of conversion from Scripture. Paulsen’s work is a gift to those in both the church and the academy, helping to recover the e-word for our liturgical lexicon, while clarifying the role of human and divine agency in the triune God’s active, saving, transforming presence in the world.”

Already Missional

Church Leadership & Ministry

“A missional must-read! Arising from Brad Morrison's effective congregational leadership, Already Missional is an engaging and delightful resource designed to help Christian communities develop a missional imagination. Drawing on the strengths of the gathered community, Morrison offers an impressive and theologically rich toolkit for partnering with the Spirit of God at work in the neighborhood.”

Both Sides of the Wardrobe

“In Both Sides of the Wardrobe, Fennell draws together a chorus of voices in critical tribute to one of the Church's greatest apologists. By looking back at Lewis, we are challenged to look forward in our own day to what shape Christian apologetics might take in a post-Christendom western culture. This work will help those who long to give testimony to the One who is, in the words of Lewis, 'not safe but good.'”

Consensus and Conflict

Theology

“Rick Osmer’s teaching ministry has profoundly impacted both church and academy in the discipline of Practical Theology and well beyond. In this delightful collection of essays, colleagues and friends celebrate his contribution to Christian witness and education, while honoring a professor whose giftedness will continue to bless future generations of scholarly evangelists in pulpit, pew, and classroom.”

Evangelism in an Age of Despair

Christian Living

“Evangelism is an area of theological inquiry that many avoid in the church and in seminaries today. Andrew Root invites us to explore evangelism anew through the lens of consolation, addressing the sorrow of this age with witness to, and participation in, the living God we know in Jesus Christ. Root’s reimagining of evangelism, attending to the sacramental shape of divine-human encounter, will bless and challenge those who long for a deeper, more wholistic understanding of how best to share our Christian faith with others.”

Respecting Congregations

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Drawing on his experience in church and academy, Clyde Ervine offers us a thoughtful and thorough approach to congregational studies in a post-Christian era. Ervine invites us to reframe our understanding of local Christian witness through the lens of respect, including a respect for congregations, to take up the tasks that God has entrusted local Christian communities for mission in a post-Christendom world.”

The Unfolding Gospel

Church Leadership & Ministry

“With wit and wisdom, John Bowen continues his lifelong commitment to equipping scholarly evangelists for church and academy. Bowen acts like a docent, cheerfully guiding the reader through the 'gospel gallery,' reinterpreting everything from conversion to church planting along the way. This book is a must read for those curious about how to live, share, and speak the gospel.”

Witnesses of These Things

Evangelism & Missions

“In Witnesses of These Things, J. Aaron Miller offers both a thoughtful critique and a compelling vision for discipleship in the post-Christendom West. A keen interpreter of gospel and culture, Miller draws on the charisms of the church in its many iterations, including the Mainline Protestant tradition, to imagine an effective Christian witness for the world today.”
