Why evangelize? A Christian questioning the need for evangelism is like an American questioning the flag, motherhood, and apple pie. Yet the question needs to be asked, and answered. What is the basis of evangelism? What does the Bible say about it? After many years as an itinerant evangelist, and following extensive study of the Scriptures, Michael Cocoris has compiled a definition of evangelism, its biblical bases, its message and principles, and methods for its practice. Not just another how-to-witness book, Evangelism: A Biblical Approach examines the subject from a scriptural perspective and in an inductive manner that will provoke further study and greater evangelism.
