Evangelism and the Etiquette of a Pluralist Society

Among books on evangelism, this one is unique in the way it opens up a pathway for evangelism in a pluralist social setting. Posterski shows how the pluralist social rules do not put up barriers to evangelism so much as they are a fruitful environment in which it can take place. He describes a movement through acceptance, appreciation and influence by which the gospel can be expressed when it is rooted in a demonstration that such a gospel can be believed and lived in today's world. The book concentrates on person to person relationships and conversations. Taken within the broader context of the way in which congregations evangelize as communities of faithful witness, Posterski's vision is invaluable for the recovery--reinvention--of evangelism in a postChristian world.
