This thesis addresses a needed shift of paradigm for mission and
evangelism within the Southern Baptist Convention. The current model
lacks appropriate contextualization in a postmodern world. The proposition of the thesis is that a kingdom model for mission and
evangelism is more appropriate for Southern Baptists' commitment to
mission.
The methodology of this thesis was researching primary and
secondary sources, interviews with persons currently involved within the
mission of Southern Baptists, evaluation of empirical data, and testing
of concepts.
In Chapter One, the validity of this thesis is presented with
the proposition, the limitations, the purpose, the practical nature, and the modus operandi of the thesis stated.
Chapter Two explores the problems of evangelism within the mission of Southern Baptists today. Focus is on empirical statistical evidence and the failure of assumptions, methods, and models currently in practice.
Chapter Three examines the birth of the mission and evangelism
mandate of Southern Baptists and the subsequent development of a
monolithic structure unchanged to the present day.
Chapter Four traces the evolution of evangelistic witness within
the early church and explores the cultural dynamics of the period. / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology / D. Th. (Missiology)
