ECUMENICITY AND EVANGELISM by DAVID M. STOWE David M. Stowe states in the preface of Ecumenicity and Evan gelism that “ no topic is debated with more intensity than evange lism, its meaning, substance, aim and imperative” in ecumenical for ums as the National Council of Churches and the World Council of Churches. He states, “ This book is an effort to reflect that debate and relate it to evangelistic action and thought among Christians who do not participate in concilliar ecu menism.” It appears to me that Mr. Stowe’s “ Ecumenicity and Evangelism” is more intent on advancing the NCC and the WCC than “ debating” the real issues of ecumenicity and evangelism. He does indicate that the foreign missionaries from NCC churches only comprise 32 per cent of the total missionary force. The truth is that two-thirds of the churches in America belong to the NCC. They send out one-third of the missionaries. One-third of the churches are considered evangeli cal; they send out two-thirds of the missionaries. Why? Mr. Stowe an swers that question, “ the high con cern for evangelism!” Yet he still considers the thrust of the NCC and WCC more important. More than once the book infers that all shall attain heaven. Mr. Stowe suggests a reorientation to God rather than a “ New Birth” ex perience. In fact, he takes pains to bring to the reader’s mind the de vastation of an “ off-brand” group in South India who believed in a “ New Birth” experience. If one does not see people lost — severed from God — why go as mission aries? — 88 pages; paper; Wm. B.

Man needs strength for living. This book is written to show man that Christ is the adequate source of this strength. The content is basically evangelistic drawing upon the experiences of different people having experienced this truth in their lives.
