Ancient-Future Evangelism Making your church a faith-forming community
Webber, Robert E.
Ancient-Future Evangelism Making your church a faith-forming community Robert E. Webber - U.S.A. Baker Books 2003 - 219tr. Paperback, illustrations 23cm - Ancient-future faith series .
In Ancient-Future Evangelism, Robert Webber surveys evangelism throughout the centuries, tracing the development of the ancient process of Christian formation. He translates that process for the twenty-first century, presenting four stages--conversion, discipleship, spiritual formation, and Christian vocation--that can easily be adapted to various church traditions. He also suggests three practical rites of passage to accompany this ""ancient-future"" practice of making disciples. Webber then underscores how the four-fold process of faith formation is interwoven with three theological themes: Christ as victor over evil, the church as witness to God's salvation, and worship as a witness to God's mission accomplished in Jesus.
