Evangelism

Vol. 1, No 1, Winter, 1981
Publication Date:1/1/1981

It is not an accident that the first issue of Word and World focuses on evangelism. We do want to say that the Word is for the world, and that theology is for ministry. We intend to keep saying that in a great variety of ways throughout what we believe will be the long life of this journal. We read and benefit from, and work with and contribute to, other journals and other theological and churchly enterprises. We shall continue to do so. But this journal will have a special importance for us as a vehicle for exploring those particular congruities and disjunctions between Word and world which constitute the matrix of both serious theology and effective ministry.
