Evangelism in an Age of Despair

"Evangelism" explores how contemporary cultural and theological shifts impact the way churches approach outreach, emphasizing the importance of a theology of consolation in a time marked by stress, loneliness, and longing for meaning. Through a fictional church and historical examples, Andrew Root advocates for a hopeful reimagining of evangelism rooted in care and compassion, highlighting how seeking consolation and leaning into sorrow can reveal the presence of Jesus Christ. The book offers a thoughtful perspective on how evangelism can remain relevant and meaningful in today’s world.
