| Summary: | For the last 50 years, one of the most important discussions in global evangelicalism has concerned the idea of holistic mission, which proposes the integration of verbal evangelism and social engagement within Christian mission. This article, excerpted from a longer study to be published in the WEA World of Theology Series, examines how key terms such as 'evangelism' and 'mission' are understood in the Bible and in contemporary missiological debates. The author argues for a nuanced holism that recognizes the Bible's overarching concern for our eternal destiny and its endorsement of a wide range of verbal and non-verbal ways to express that concern. |
