About the Author:
William J. Abraham is Albert Cook Outler Professor of Theology and Wesley Studies at Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University. His other books include Canon and Criterion in Christian Theology: From the Fathers to Feminism (Oxford).
From Library Journal:
Abraham (Perkins School of Theology) subjects the theory and practice of evangelism to modern theological reflection. He points out that very little critical theological thought has been applied to this area and that no major contemporary theologian has written about it. In an attempt to foster such serious study, Abraham takes a logical and scholarly approach, defining evangelism as "primary initiative into the Kingdom of God" as opposed to "preaching the Gospel" or "church growth." After developing his thesis in the first five chapters, he then examines the relation to evangelism of conversion, baptism, spiritual gifts, and related topics. Practical evangelism and ecumenism are also discussed. An excellent and scholarly work long overdue in the field. Recommended for large public and academic libraries. For another look at evangelism, see Randall Balmer's Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory , reviewed below.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This is an addition to the theory and practice of evangelism, claiming that initiation into the Christian Church is only the start of a life-long process of evangelism. In contrast to the traditional focus on proclamation and the more recent emphasis on Church growth, Abraham argues that evangelism must be construed as primary initiation into the Kingdom of God. Fleshing out his case by discussing how conversion, baptism, morality, the Creed, the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the classical spiritual disciplines are related to initiation into the Kingdom, Abraham examines the implications of his theory for the practice of evangelism. The author maintains that the much needed critical discussion about evangelism schemes, but rather by bringing to bear on the topic relevant material from a number of appropriate disciplines. The author is an ordained minister in the Methodist Church, Professor of Philosophy and Religion at Perkins School of Theology at the Southern Methodist University, and American Associate Director of the C.S.Lewis Centre. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR002730302
