Evangelism: Publications

Publications by Steve Hollinghurst 

Mission-Shaped Evangelism

Canterbury Press 2010

'This book is a must-read for church leaders wanting to engage in effective evangelism for the 21st century. Combining a carefully balanced historical perspective with insights from scripture and contemporary culture, Steve Hollinghurst has redefined the nature of evangelism in a way that is faithful to the tradition while also being deeply rooted in an understanding of the realities  of today's world.'

John Drane, Co-Chair, Mission Theology Advisory Group

Equipping Your Church in a Spiritual Age (published with others)

A workbook to enable local churches to engage with today's spiritual age. Now out of print but available from the Sheffield centre as a PDF at: www.encountersontheedge.org.uk

Coded Messages - Evangelism and The Da Vinci Code

Why another book on the Da Vinci Code? Other books analyse the historical or geographical inaccuracies and theological errors, but these are not arguments which will sway most of those influenced by the book. This study looks instead at how the book taps into a conspiracy culture which distrusts authority and organised religion. It explores how discussion about the book can best be used to build bridges, and how to set up an effective event to which to invite people.

New Age Paganism and Christian Mission 

Paganism and New Age beliefs are found everywhere as part of the burgeoning  of post-modern spiritualities. But there is often much misunderstanding of what they involve, how they differ from one another and how the Christian gospel speaks to them.

Written out of both personal experience and biblical reflection, this study outlines the contours of these belief systems and offers practical strategies for fruitful engagement in Christian mission.
