The Provocative Church (with study guide)

Forlagets omtale:
Excellent tools exist for helping those who are spiritually seeking to come to Christ. But what about the vast majority of people today who are simply indifferent to Jesus and the church? As a church, we have to intrigue people enough so they will ask 'What does all this mean?' In this practical theology of evangelism, Tomlin changes the focus of evangelism from an individual activity to one which involves the church as a whole. The Provocative Church is full of suggestions for reaching your local community and is a welcome tonic for reviving enthusiasm.

A lively and accessible book offering a practical theology of evangelism and the local church. Alpha, Emmaus and the like have proved excellent tools for those interested in Christianity. But what about those not interested? The basic theme of Life in the Kingdom of God is that we need 'provocative' churches which raise the question asked by the onlookers in Acts 2*12* 'What does all this mean?' Only when people have seen something in church or Christian life that is provocative or attractive, will they be intriguted enough to want to know what's going on.
