Synopsis: In Evangelism and the Openness of God, Vaughn Baker
argues that a dynamic concept of God as articulated in open theism
better serves the evangelistic mission of the church than does
conventional theology. Open theism affirms an ontology of love as
opposed to power, and it focuses on God's kenosis in creation,
allowing for the authentic freedom of creation influenced by divine
persuasion. God's genuine temporal relationship with creation--one
that is open, synergist, and non-coercive--provides a new
perspective for evangelistic activity. In this volume the author
has made a valuable contribution to the integration of new
developments in theology and evangelism. Endorsements: "Theology
truly matters to evangelism. Bad theology muffles the good news or
confuses its audience. Vaughn Baker shows that open theology
provides a better framework for evangelism than other theological
alternatives. It makes better sense of the biblical witness and our
deep intuitions about human freedom and responsibility. Baker
presents open theology as truly winsome theology of evangelism."
--Thomas Jay Oord, Northwest Nazarene University "This is a
splendid contribution to the literature on evangelism. Drawing on
the theology of open theism, it challenges conventional, populist
(and Calvinist) wisdom and provides an alternative, theological
foundation for evangelism. It also explores how we should practice
the ministry of evangelism in ways that will be both effective and
theologically salutary." --William J. Abraham, Perkins School of
Theology, Southern Methodist University Author Biography: Vaughn
Baker is Lead Pastor of Silver Creek United Methodist Church in
Azle, Texas, and Senior Fellow of the Polycarp Community.
