Toward a Theology of Evangelism

Beschreibung

God The Father has acted in Jesus Christ to save mankind from the human dilemma. Evangelism is grounded in this fact, says Dr. Hartt, and it is to this one great fact we must turn in preaching and teaching. The church today must lift into sharp focus the essential evangelistic message. Only thus--far above the methods of popular evangelism--can it meet the modern world's competition for men's minds and hearts. In these chapters Dr. Hartt defines and interprets each of the great principles of faith that make up the Christian message. Belief in God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Kingdom, the nature of man, is explored in light of the Great Commission. Toward a Theology of Evangelism is an interpretation of the church's mission as witness to the truth and love of God--a vital book for every thoughtful person who seeks to obey Jesus' impelling command: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations.
