Pre-evangelism, thoughts on acts 17

-- As we address the biblically illiterate Americans of the 21st century, we need to follow Paul's Acts 17 model, building a case from Creation before expecting people to understand the message of sin and salvation. We need to practice "pre-evangelism," using apologetics to defend basic concepts of who God is, who we are, and what we owe Him, before presenting the gospel message. --Nancy Pearcey, in her book "Total Truth"
