There was a time when the word ‘evangelism’ was spoken by evangelicals alone and its meaning was defined, i.e. the proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ to a lost world. These days are gone. Nowadays Roman Catholics are talking about the ‘new’ evangelisation and its meaning has become blurred. Moreover, evangelicals seem to put less emphasis on the verbal communication of the gospel, preferring ‘different’ methods of evangelisation. This generation, therefore, has the responsibility to clarify afresh what evangelism is and how to do it.
