Considering the Great Commission Evangelism And Mission in the Wesleyan Spirit

A comprehensive guide to the theology and practice of evangelism within the Wesleyan tradition. No one would deny that evangelism stands at the heart of the Wesleyan/Methodist movement. Yet ask any number of representatives of that movement what evangelism means, and you will get an equal number of definitions. Is it bringing the lost to saving faith in Christ? Working to conform the social order to the Kingdom of God? Deepening the commitment of disciples to the work the Gospel? This important new volume answers that evangelism is all these, and more. Drawing on the work of prominent theologians and church leaders, it examines both the theory and the practice of evangelism among the people called Methodist, charting a course for a faithfully Wesleyan fulfillment of the Great Commission.Robinson, Elaine is the author of 'Considering the Great Commission Evangelism And Mission in the Wesleyan Spirit', published 2005 under ISBN 9780687493630 and ISBN 0687493633.
