Hey I just ran across a book by scott mcknight regarding how modern day evangelism has boiled everything down to only personal salvation and how we should follow the book of acts. It seemed he was advocating the 'Jesus is Lord' gospel and sounded too much like wright. I did not know who McKnight was and still really don't, though when I typed in his name on google, a bunch of emergents came up as related topics or persons. What I know is he's not a Calvinist, far from it, so his book on this evangelism gospel is not one to look to.
However, this got me wondering about the book of Acts and how the Gospel was shared in it. I read an article that is quite interesting on the subject, not sure if it's exactly what I am looking for but at least part of it is there that remedies the above situation (McKnight's book, though in a different way):http://thecripplegate.com/evangelism-and-the-extent-of-the-atonement/ Is it something we should look to as a framework? Are there any 'other' books on the subject? What are your guys' thoughts on this?
