Tone and Goals for this Initiative
Dr. Mark Bailey, Dr. Mark Yarbrough, and Dr. Darrell Bock discuss the nature of cultural engagement and how evangelism has changed in recent decades. They explain how Christians can reach out to the culture in a way that effectively communicates the hopeful and restorative message of the gospel to today's largely non-believing society.
