Amos Yong is a professor at Fuller Seminary and the author and editor of dozens of scholarly works for the theological academy, and has spent much of his research and writing focused on the spiritual life; this book, and its series of works, addresses a wider religious and religiously curious audience.
""Yong's prophetic book invites readers on an intricate, courageous journey--guided by a deep dive into Luke's writings--to reimagine Christian mission as 'witness with' and evangelism as prompting a full-orbed conversion in hearers and message-bearers alike. His discussion of missiological and evangelistic considerations--as inevitably enmeshed in sociopolitical contexts--challenges Christians to be careful and humble as they bear witness to the gospel message."" --Priscilla Pope-Levison, Research Professor of Practical Theology, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, Dallas ""Amos Yong has cooked up another stimulating book challenging the existing modern mission paradigm to shift away from mission to others to one that is witness with others. This new mission model of bearing witness with others by one's own conversion is more participatory and is therefore mutually transformative for our world today. Yong's new way of evangelization is well grounded in the sacred Scripture, particularly in Luke-Acts. Yong's interpretation--starting with Acts and then reading back to the Gospel of Luke--is refreshingly creative and accessible, yet theologically and methodologically sound. It's a great read for missiologists teaching in the classrooms and practitioners out in the mission field. And for those looking for a spark of spiritual inspiration, this book could change your life around!"" --vănThanh Nguyễn, SVD, Professor of New Testament Studies, Catholic Theological Union, Chicago ""Amos Yong questions the church's tendency to see evangelism and discipleship as a neat, complete information package. Instead, he thoughtfully invites followers of Jesus Christ, in cooperation with the Spirit, to humbly reflect on our own need for continuing conversion and transformation in all areas of our personal and social lives so we might join in God's life-giving mission to bring forth God's kingdom in a fractured and hurting world."" --Marilyn Draper, Associate Professor of Practical Theology, Tyndale Seminary, Toronto
