Preaching & Evangelism

On my blog I have posted Part 3 of a 3-part series on Monergism vs. Synergism. It is subtitled Preaching & Evangelism. In the article I show how each view approaches the task of preaching and evangelism.

Part 1 was subtitled Augustinianism, Pelagianism, and Semi-Pelagianism with an SI thread here.

Part 2 was subtitled Monergism in John’s Gospel with an SI thread here.

I wrote:

Since Synergism affirms that man has the natural ability to choose Christ, preaching and evangelism is tasked with convincing man to do that which he has the ability to do. Synergism is focused on the response, and the success of evangelistic enterprises is determined by the quantity of respondents.

and

In contrast to Synergism and recognizing man’s natural inability, Monergism (in affirmation of 1 Corinthians 1:24), focuses on the clear and passionate presentation of the text of scripture. Success is determined by how accurately the text of scripture is presented; response is left to the Holy Spirit.
