A quick entry tonight, but one that I've been thinking a lot about all day. Early in his introduction, Peterson makes the following statement: "We cannot use impersonal means to do or say a personal thing - and the gospel is personal or it is nothing."
There's an awful lot of implications flowing from that sentence. If what Peterson is saying is true, and I have a feeling it might be, what does that say for some of our "techniques" of evangelism? Does it mean that "Internet evangelism" is not possible, or does it mean that we must very consciously shape and personalize the way we do evangelism online so that we are not misrepresenting a gospel that is personal and incarnational?
I need to do some more thinking before I begin to formulate some answers, but I'd love to hear input from others.
