God-Centred Evangelism
by R. B. Kuiper
Summary
A work which covers the whole spectrum of themes on evangelism, from its origin in God himself, to the assurance of its ultimate triumph. Here we have the theology of evangelism, and evangelism without scriptural theology has lost its moorings. R.B. Kuiper’s writing, as his preaching and lecturing, was always characterized by clarity and simplicity.
The book begins with God as the author of evangelism, and shows the relation of his love, election, covenant and commission to it. There are chapters on scope, urgency, motive, aim, agent, approach, means, message, method, effectiveness and triumph of evangelism. Dr. Kuiper also deals with zeal for co-operation in, and resistance to evangelism. He was deeply influenced by his teacher B.B. Warfield and went on to have a distinguished career in the pastoral and teaching ministry. Dr. Kuiper was President of Calvin College (1930-33) and Professor of Practical Theology at Westminster Theological Seminary (1933-1952).
