Description
The Provocative Church offers a liberating understanding of evangelism as a corporate activity. It suggests that all the gifts needed to enact the life of the Kingdom are spread throughout the whole Church, encouraging individuals to see beyond 'becoming a Christian' and bring each life increasingly under the rule of God. This approach sees evangelism not as an individual task, but as a collective effort where the entire community is involved. The book explores how this corporate activity can be developed within the Church, leading to a deeper understanding of conversion and its implications for individuals and communities. By rethinking evangelism in this way, The Provocative Church aims to inspire a fresh approach to sharing the Christian message and building a more vibrant and inclusive community of faith.
