www.christianityexplored.org: a tool for everyday evangelism

 
Carl Laferton | Sept. 2, 2011

The new Christianity Explored website, launched in April, is a fantastic new resource for Christians trying to share their faith with friends, family and colleagues.

Because it presents the gospel and apologetics clearly, but in a warm and positive way, it’s great for pointing people to, whether they’re:

  • just beginning to think about Christianity
  • asking lots of questions and wanting to look into things in more detail
  • thinking of coming on a CE course
  • already attending a course

whether they’ve only just begun to think about Christianity, are asking lots of questions or whether they’re thinking of signing up for a CE course (or have already done so).

The website has a “Course” section which gives details about how CE courses work—but it’s also capable of being used as a standalone evangelistic tool.

It features:

  • an animated outline of the gospel, using the shape of Mark’s presentation of the Christian message
  • short, simple answers to common questions, featuring contributions from Tim Keller, Vaughan Roberts, Lizzy Smallwood, Paul Perkin and Abi Styles
  • testimonies from a range of people who have become Christians, both through the CE course and in other ways
  • videos explaining how the course works, and showing the first week’s material
  • an online Mark’s Gospel

How can you use it to equip and encourage evangelism in your church?

  • If you’re running a CE course soon, make sure your church features on the powerful “Find a Course” feature.
  • Tell your congregation about the website so they can point friends to it. Why not order business-card-sized cards with the address and QR code on, for you and your church members to carry in your wallet? Order some now: email admin@thegoodbook.co.uk (UK) or admin@thegoodbook.com (US).
  • Make sure that at outreach events and services you’re giving newcomers the opportunity to keep thinking about Christianity by recommending the website. Put the URL on your Powerpoint at the end of the service, or give out cards with the address on.
  • Point to the website from your church’s website. You can grab some images here.
