Evangelism in Education: Impossibility, Travesty or Necessity?

Astley, Jeff

Authors

Jeff Astley



Abstract

While welcoming a broad conception of mission that includes elements of implicit mission alongside the explicit mission of evangelization, the author regrets the general rush of educationalists and liberal Christians away from the idea of evangelism. He believes that educators in general, and church educators in particular, should be more open to both the concept and the practice.
