| Summary: | In place of the various scholarly definitions of the word “evangelism” that emphasize specific practices and outcomes, a new definition should be developed that clarifies the gospel message and presents a positive disposition toward that message. Such a definition would overcome the core difficulties facing the church in North America and would have strong biblical support. The recommended definition is: Evangelism is a bias held by the people of God for the good news of what God does in Jesus Christ to provide abundant life for all creation through the power of the Holy Spirit. |
