Aus Memorial Lecture

March 13, 2013, 1:30 p.m.

"Telling the Old, Old Story in a New, new way"

Olson Campus Center, Chapel of the Incarnation

Watch the lecture!

There was a time when the church could assume that the people it was trying to reach already knew the Christian story. In such a world, the task of evangelism could be framed as proclaiming the relevance of the Christian message. But in our time and culture, even the people still involved in church life often have little knowledge of the Bible or the Christian story. Craig Koester and Rolf Jacobson will describe how evangelism in our time needs to include the simple act of telling the old, old story and helping people reimagine their lives in light of the characters, events and stories of the Bible.
