An Evangelical Rationale for Social Action

An Evangelical Rationale for Social Action (pdf) by Michael Hill. “By his sacrificial service on the cross (Jesus) revealed God’s standard for all to imitate. He modelled true humanity in his humility and selfabasement before God and his self-giving service… to his neighbours.”

“The reality is that evangelism will lead to conversion and conversion will lead to a new creation and that new creation will oblige people to be involved in social action.” sxc pic

    Hey Dave – thanks heaps for this article. It came in right handy for that exam.

    It’s a top article too. His application that every church should have a ‘social action team’ is really interesting, I wonder if there’s many places around Syd that have done that and what the outcome has been?

    no worries. in the end i didn’t read it! i went for the pluralism/exclusivism/inclusivism one for section B.

    but i’m keen to have a read – so thanks for the recommendation.

    peaceout
