An Enduring Gift at the Heart of Ministry: How One Church Honored Their Longtime Pastor
Dec 4, 2024
«El evangelismo podría ser una de las disciplinas espirituales más incomprendidas y menos practicadas en la iglesia evangélica actual. En Historia del Evangelismo, David Gustafson ha producido un valioso recurso para ayudar a la iglesia a recordar, desde la perspectiva teológica, lo que es el evangelismo, a la vez que ofrece un relato histórico de los diversos modelos y prácticas de evangelización que la iglesia ha empleado a lo largo de los últimos dos milenios. Mi oración es que el Espíritu de Dios utilice esta obra para recuperar la pasión de la iglesia por la evangelización, al tiempo que la ayude a imaginar nuevos modelos y prácticas de evangelización para el siglo XXI».
