Liberating Evangelism by Stephen K. Pickard PDF Summary

Book Description: Has the church abdicated its responsibility for and privilege of spreading the gospel? Has this baptismal birthright been forgotten or denied out of ignorance, poor example, or even misinformation? Stephen Pickard argues that the church is called to be a community of the evangel and thus a community that seeks to embody the glad tidings of God in all of its life. He addresses two issues: the relationship of evangelism to systematic theology and the relationship of evangelism to the church. In the case of the former, he calls for a recovery of the complementary nature of theology and evangelism (the theory and practice of the gospel), discussing what this might involve and how it may benefit the church's evangelistic task. This evangelistic task is then developed further in terms of the dynamics of communication. Regarding evangelism and its relation to the church, Pickard contends that the locus for evangelism has to be the Christian community, its life of worship and discipleship in the world. But the church must be reconceived missiologically in terms of the Great Commission and as a community for the praise of God.
