Summary

"Evangelical Hospitality: Catechetical Evangelism in the Early Church and Its Recovery for Today describes a church that has lost touch with its deep memory of evangelization, the recovery of that memory in catechetical ministry, and the practices this recovery spawns in the Church. After describing the social construction of faith communities, the book examines four core practices that are entailed in creating cultures of faith - places where believing in Christ becomes plausible and possible. Evangelical Hospitality concludes with perennial principles from Christian communities that learn to construct faith cultures."--BOOK JACKET.
