How do we respond to the silent appeal in the dark eyes of the
child in the charity catalogue, or the blanketed figure in the cold
shop doorway? Should we share the gospel with them, or a bowl of
soup? Throughout history, men and women such as Wilberforce,
Shaftesbury, Carey and booth have recognised a call to help the
needy. Others have argued that our first task is evangelism, that
Christians should not meddle in politics, that social action is a
distraction. Do we serve Christ through preaching his Word, or
should we use words only when necessary? Tim Chester argues that
evangelism and social action are inseparable as two arms of the
church's mission. He presents a biblical case for truly evangelical
social action that is shaped and inspired by the gospel. He urges
conservatives not to marginalize those who uphold the cause for the
oppressed, and those involved in social action not to neglect the
preaching of the Word. 'Consistent, mission-minded evangelicals
have always refused to choose between a commitment to gospel
proclamation and an active concern for the poor. Tim Chester digs
deep into the Bible to show us why both are vital, and what it
means to be Christ's people in a world of need.' Keith Walker,
director of SIM-UK/N. Europe 'A must-read for those looking for a
way to integrate word and deed mission to advance God's purposed in
our needy world.' Tom Sine, author of Living on Purpose: Finding
God's Best For Your Life Tim Chester is involved in The Crowded
House, a church-planting initiative in Sheffield, England. He was
previously Research and Policy Director for Tearfund UK. He is the
author of a number of books, including The Message of
Prayer(IVP,The Bible Speaks Today series).3
