How can evangelism produce not only converts but also disciples who
grow in faith and become active members of the church? In
Ancient-Future Evangelism, Robert Webber presents a model of
evangelism and discipleship firmly rooted in Scripture, attested to
in the history of the church, and authentic to the postmodern world
in which we live. Webber surveys evangelism throughout the
centuries, tracing the development of the ancient process of
Christian formation. He translates that process for the
twenty-first century, presenting four stages-conversion,
discipleship, spiritual formation, and Christian vocation-that can
easily be adapted to various church traditions. He also suggests
three practical rites of passage to accompany this "ancient-future"
practice of making disciples. Webber then underscores how the
four-fold process of faith formation is interwoven with three
theological themes: Christ as victor over evil, the church as
witness to God's salvation, and worship as a witness to God's
mission accomplished in Jesus. "A simplistic and reductionistic
understanding of salvation has led to an obsession with conversion
to the detriment of discipleship. Robert Webber provides a helpful
framework to all who desire a deeper perspective on this
significant subject. Every Christian disturbed by the lack of depth
in the church should read Ancient-Future Evangelism."- Appianda
