Announcing the Ministry in a Secular Age Podcast from ANDREW ROOT and DEREK TRONSGARD

Sponsored by Luther Seminary and Baker Academic

Evangelism in an Age of Despair Hope beyond the Failed Promise of Happiness Andrew Root With churches experiencing a decline in numbers and resources and the idea of evangelism contested, Andrew Root contextualizes evangelism in our late modern times and reimagines what the call to outreach means in today’s world. “An invaluable study of the central place of consolation in the practice and theology of ministry and its power to fundamentally reshape our witness.” —Philip G. Ziegler, University of Aberdeen “Root’s reimagining of evangelism will bless and challenge those who long for a deeper, more wholistic understanding of how best to share our Christian faith with others.” —Ross Lockhart, Vancouver School of Theology

Andrew Root (PhD, Princeton Theological Seminary) is Carrie Olson Baalson Professor of Youth and Family Ministry at Luther Seminary. He is the author of more than twenty-five books and a frequent speaker.
