| Summary: | This article views hospitality as integral to the gospel and thus as a primary context for evangelism. The practice of evangelism in hospitality reflects and follows God's welcoming of all in Christ, whose Incarnation was the Word become flesh and not simply speech. When the gospel is shared, the lives of the witness and the one invited to Christian faith are to be shared also. The author examines three essential elements for evangelism in the context of biblical hospitality: evangelism as a boundary-crossing event, the church as the witnessing and hospitable community, and evangelism in hospitality sustained by spirituality. |
