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.<br/><br/>At 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.

Really a terrific book!"<br/>--<b>Adam Hamilton</b>, senior pastor, The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection<br/><br/>"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!"<br/>--<b>Walter Brueggemann</b>, Columbia Theological Seminary<br/><br/>"<i>Models of Evangelism</i> 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!"<br/>--<b>Leslie Copeland-Tune</b>, ordained Baptist minister and chief operating officer of the National Council of Churches USA<br/><br/>"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."<br/>--<b>William J. Abraham</b>, Southern Methodist University<br/><br/>"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."<br/>--<b>Will</b> <b>Willimon</b>, Duke Divinity School<i><br/></i><br/>"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."<br/>--<b>Randall Balmer</b>, Episcopal priest; Dartmouth College<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Priscilla Pope-Levison </b>(PhD, University of St. Andrews) is associate dean for external programs and professor of ministerial studies at Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, in Dallas, Texas.
