A Credible Witness: Reflections on Power, Evangelism and Race by Brenda Salter Mcneil

write a brief review

Description of this book from the publisher’s website:

Evangelist and teacher Brenda Salter McNeil thinks evangelism that only introduces people to Jesus is incomplete. The picture is much larger than that, she claims: Christ’s death and resurrection reconcile us to God and to each other across gender, race and social lines.

Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman, introduced here as Brenda’s friend Sam, gives you the full picture of gospel reconciliation–reconciliation to God and to each other. In her powerful, prophetic way, Brenda expounds their interaction recorded in John 4 and shares her own story of coming to Christ and learning to relate to other Christians. A Credible Witness tells you why both types of reconciliation are necessary, and moves you to be a person whose evangelism happens through a right relationship with God and others.

“In today’s world,” Brenda writes, “we too are called to embody more than one type of reconciliation. The good news brings us to God, and it also brings life and healing to a broken, dying and divided world. Anything less is not the gospel.”
