From the Introduction Our aim in this book is to imagine the practice of evangelism among neighbors who carry spiritual abuse and trauma. What does it look like to share the good news of Jesus, to make disciples of Jesus, among people who have been harmed in the name of Jesus? How does the church relate to those who have been harmed by the church? How do we practice evangelism in ways that aren’t themselves tantamount to coercion, domination, and abuse?
