In light of our increasingly post-Christian Western contexts, David Gustafson offers a mission-oriented ecclesiology that moves from missional theory to practices of missional engagement. Introducing “God’s human drama” as a way to explain the gospel within God’s redemptive story, he outlines specific ways for pastors and church leaders to shape a “gospeling” culture within their congregations. Gustafson expertly lays the foundations of and approaches to evangelism that are seminal and apt for the church today.

“A significant contribution to the study and practice of evangelism and discipleship in the twenty-first century. Gospel Witness is both culturally sensitive and biblically faithful. I highly recommend it!”

“Gospel Witness presents fresh perspectives for sharing the gospel and making disciples in our post-Christendom context.

“Fuses academic scholarship with the practice of evangelism in our culture today.”
Kevin Kompelien
—President of the Evangelical Free Church of America
“Now more than ever, it is imperative for us to think like missionaries as we bring the gospel in word and deed to a post-Christian world. David Gustafson challenges churches to make disciples who make disciples engaging in mission, redemptive relationships, and “gospeling” wherever they connect with their communities.”
