Evangelism in the Early Church by Michael Green

This is a history book used for classes in Seminary. Doesn't sound too exciting for most people, but I'm glad that I was introduced to this book and able to read it. Anyone interested in the ancient history of the early Christian church will learn a lot here. This book is specifically on early church evangelism. How did the church go about evangelizing to the Jews? To the Gentiles? What were the things that helped them do this? What things made it difficult? What was it that motivated them to evangelize? What made evangelism work? What made it not work? What made people believe in the message? What kept them from believing it? What kind of people did it? All of these things are addressed and looked into deeply. I learned a lot of neat history and was deeply convicted by the bravery and assurance of truth that people back then had. I highly recommend it for people who are willing to read this kind of stuff.
