ARTICLE OF FAITH? IBD

Sinopse

This research study engages with the everyday theology and practice of evangelism by focussing on the signifying practice of tract usage amongst evangelical Christians. A significant theological disclosure is identified as taking place within the gifting of the evangelistic tract Journey into Life that dominated the UK Christian book market for over three decades selling more than thirty million copies. The findings of this research offer a unique insight into the lived and embodied faith of evangelical Christians in the UK demonstrating how the distribution of religious tracts has played an important role in the development of evangelical faith identity. The study concludes by engaging its findings with the development of digital tracts and digital evangelism. Dr Chris Noble is a research fellow at St Augustine?s College of Theology.
