Q&A#23 Why Doesn't Paul Say More About Evangelism?
August 1, 2018
Alastair Roberts
Today's question: "Given that Paul is the most prominent evangelist / church planter in the Bible, why are exhortations to evangelize seemingly so rare in his work? In many parts of the evangelical church we seem to foreground the need for evangelism and background discussion of ethics, should we reverse this?"
