Spread the Word: Reclaiming the Apostolic Tradition of Evangelism

Product Description
Does Orthodox evangelism sound like an oxymoron? It shouldn’t. The Orthodox Church has an unbroken tradition of evangelism that goes back to the Apostles. But Orthodox evangelism does look rather different from the Protestant variety. With his characteristic straight­forward and humor­ous style, Fr. Michael Keiser covers the history of Orthodox evangelism, the rationale and the methods for continuing this tradition in our contemporary Western post-Christian society.
Review
“Fr. Michael Keiser . . . offers a very practical guide on how to practice such evangelism at the parish and local level today within our own American context. . . . This book has something valuable to offer to all the clergy and every serious Christian who wants to see the Orthodox Church faithfully live out her calling as the Body of Christ.”
–from the Foreword by Fr. Luke A. Veronis, author of Go Forth and Missionaries, Monks, and Martyrs

“Clergy and laity alike will benefit from Fr. Michael’s guidance. This book has many specific and important takeaways. His writing is downright clever. If we do what he says, I cannot imagine that our parishes will not grow both spiritually and numerically.”
–from the Preface by Fr. Peter Gillquist, author of Becoming Orthodox
