Exclusion and Embrace

I’m working through Volf’s Exclusion and Embrace. I’ve heard a lot of great things about it in the last couple of years and finally got around to hitting the purchase button at Amazon. So far, I’m finding it to be theologically rich and stimulating. It’s also dense enough in places to throw me off of my speed-reading horse.

This fall I’m going to be talking about evangelism on Sunday mornings. I don’t like using the word evangelism very much because of the baggage associated with it, so I’m trying to enter the conversation from a different angle. That’s why I’m preaching through Jonah. I see it as the perfect story for a church that is trying to get its missional groove back.

So, what are you thinking?
