This book helps readers move beyond those caricatures to consider thoughtfully and practically how they can engage in evangelism, whether it's through one-on-one conversations, social media, social justice, or the liturgy of worship services.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt once biblical, theological, historical, and practical, this book by a seasoned scholar offers an engaging, well-researched, and well-organized presentation and analysis of eight models of evangelism. Covering a breadth of approaches--from personal evangelism to media evangelism and everything in between--Priscilla Pope-Levison encourages readers to take a deeper look at evangelism and discover a model that captures their attention. Each chapter introduces and assesses a model biblically, theologically, historically, and practically, allowing for easy comparison across the board. The book also includes end-of-chapter study questions to further help readers interact with each model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"A landmark contribution to the literature on evangelism\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt once biblical, theological, historical, and practical, this book offers an engaging presentation and analysis of eight models of evangelism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An insightful, thought-provoking, inspiring, and practical guide for all who are interested in sharing the good news of Jesus Christ today.
