Modern vs Postmodern Sensitive Evangelism

It is important to remember, that the very model of the way the Good News is shared today has changed dramatically within last few decades. See the differences below.

Modern Evangelism

1. Hear the gospel as a verbal or written message
2. Decide that message is true. (Make a decision)
3. Integrate into a Bible teaching church

Postmodern Sensitive Evangelism

1. See the message in the spiritual life of a friend
2. Come with the friend on a spiritual journey to encounter Jesus
   [Believe in Jesus on the journey]
3. Encounter Jesus in a creative/spiritual corporate setting (church or small group)

The article by Ross Rhode on the Postmodernism and the future of the Church is the best one I ever read - detailed and concise though comprehensive enough to jump in the very essence of the topic. I would definitely recommend it to everybody both as an introductory course and as a reference guide. The survey gives examples of 3 waves of postmodern churches - lots of food for thought. There is also Part II of it (pdf).

We did a 12 pages publication on Church and Postmodernism in Christianity magazine. So, much of the information from these papers (and more!) is available in Russian, too.
