A New and Ancient Evangelism

"A thoughtful and theological approach that equips people for witness"In A New and Ancient Evangelism, Judith Paulsen explains that God uses ordinary people of faith within their everyday spheres of influence to draw people to himself. She offers a truly biblical understanding of evangelism that is ideally suited for sharing the good news in our current cultural context."Whether used as a textbook for courses in evangelism, as a study guide for small groups, or as a helpful catalyst for individual Christians, I believe this book will help equip the church for its mission of introducing people to Jesus and the life that can only be found in and through him."--Ed Stetzer, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University"We are in sore need of a fresh examination of evangelism. A New and Ancient Evangelism is that foundational text. Comprehensive, engaging, profoundly theological. Read Paulsen's book and become awakened to what God is doing all around you in bringing the world to himself."--David Fitch, Northern Seminary, Chicago; author of Faithful Presence"Paulsen reignites our passion for evangelism. By showing that the conversion stories of the Bible offer a relational model for sharing the good news, A New and Ancient Evangelism invites Christians to freely participate in God's redemptive work by investing in respectful and compassionate relationships."--Marilyn Draper, Tyndale Seminary"I'm one of those people Paulsen identifies at the beginning of this wonderful book: not interested in a book on evangelism. But I read on and was amazingly rewarded. This is a book on evangelism I am more than happy to recommend."--Alan James Roxburgh, The Missional Network"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. A gift to those in both the church and the academy."--Ross A. Lockhart, Vancouver School of Theology
