Gospel Witness: Evangelism in Word and Deed

In light of our increasingly post-Christian Western contexts, David Gustafson offers a mission-oriented ecclesiology that moves from missional theory to practices of missional engagement. Introducing ?God?s human drama? as a way to explain the gospel within God?s redemptive story, he outlines specific ways for pastors and church leaders to shape a ?gospeling? culture within their congregations. Gustafson expertly lays the foundations of and approaches to evangelism that are seminal and apt for the church today. Review Robert E.
