Description: Traditional views of evangelism are often intimidating and push the limits of personal comfort, leaving the job of reaching out to those who are not part of the community of faith to the professionals-the clergy of the church. Knight and Powe show how this misunderstanding is contrary to John Wesley's view of evangelism, which he understood as a complete circle. Evangelism should not be viewed as an ugly word or act that most fear to live out, but as a way for one friend in Christ to welcome another friend in Christ to the faith.
