Evangelism in the Reformed Tradition

A symposium on "Evangelism in the Reformed Tradition" was held in Charlotte, NC, in October 1989. Sponsored by Columbia, Princeton, and Union Theological Seminaries, it brought together some of the best contemporary thinkers on the issues facing contemporary evangelism. Their presentations contained a strong affirmation of evangelism, as well as an enlightened Reformed approach to the crucial issue.

Speakers included: Thomas Gillespie, Diogenes Allen, Richard Osmer, Walter Brueggemann, Beverly Gaventa, Shirley Guthrie, Charles Brown, David Willis Watkins, and Paul Achtemeier. Worship services were led by T. Hartley Hall, Leonora Tubbs Tisdale, and Douglas Oldenburg.

The ideas and issues presented in this thoughtful volume will stimulate both thinking and action.
