Evangelicalism and evangelism It is not unusual to hear people - TopicsExpress



          

Evangelicalism and evangelism It is not unusual to hear people use the term evangelical as if it were a synonym for evangelistic. One of my colleagues recently received a letter of instructions about a speaking engagement he had soon to fulfil. His correspondent informed him that, because they were all Christians in their group, they did not want anything evangelical! He meant, of course, that they were not asking for an evangelistic address. But the words evangelical and evangelistic should not be confused. The adjective evangelistic describes an activity, that of spreading the gospel, so that we speak of evangelistic campaigns and evangelistic services. Evangelical, on the other hand, describes a theology, what the apostle Paul called the truth of the gospel (Gal. 2:5, 14). [John Stott]
