Descripción de contraportada

"A landmark contribution to the literature on evangelism"

At once biblical, theological, historical, and practical, this book offers an engaging presentation and analysis of eight models of evangelism.

"An insightful, thought-provoking, inspiring, and practical guide for all who are interested in sharing the good news of Jesus Christ today. Really a terrific book!"
--Adam Hamilton, senior pastor, The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection

"The familiar faces of evangelism are hot, coercive mantras and cool, manipulative marketeering. Priscilla Pope-Levison will have none of that! Instead, she provides a rich, comprehensive taxonomy of the various spheres of evangelism, each of which reaches out in hospitable ways to different populations. This book will be for a long while the state-of-the-art articulation on this urgent subject. It is a welcome articulation!"
--Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary

"Models of Evangelism is both welcome and refreshing in so many ways. I hope church and lay leaders will include it in their evangelism classes and trainings, and encourage everyone in their church to read, embrace, and be inspired by it!"
--Leslie Copeland-Tune, ordained Baptist minister and chief operating officer of the National Council of Churches USA

"This is a landmark contribution to the literature on evangelism. Steeped in detailed historical study, written with grace and wit, and informed by years of reflection, Pope-Levison's book gives us a splendid overview of our options for evangelism. It is a total pleasure to recommend it without hesitation or qualification."
--William J. Abraham, Southern Methodist University

"Pope-Levison has given us one of the decade's best books on evangelism. With her guidance, you are sure to find a model that works for you and your congregation. This is the right book at the right time by the right Christian leader."
--Will Willimon, Duke Divinity School

"For some Christians, this book will represent something of a revelation because the author is unapologetic about the mandate for evangelism. For others, it will enrich, and no doubt complicate, their understanding of evangelism by pointing out the essential nature of traditional Christian virtues such as hospitality, relationship, and integrity. An excellent and thought-provoking book."
--Randall Balmer, Episcopal priest; Dartmouth College
