Priscilla Pope-Levison: Models of Evangelism

Models of Evangelism
(Baker, 2020)

WHO: Priscilla Pope-Levison, associate dean for external programs and professor of ministerial studies at Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University.

SHE SAYS: “Evangelism issues invitations, forges relationships, relieves hunger, quenches thirst, restores fruitfulness and reconciles estranged parties.”

THE BIG IDEA: This books offers a presentation and analysis of eight models of evangelism.

THE PROGRESSION:
Each chapter in this book examines a model of evangelism—personal, small group, visitation, liturgical, church growth, prophetic, revival and media—under the same rubrics: biblical, theological, historical and practical.

“It is absolutely essential that the modern church embody the qualities that lie at the base of good evangelism.”
