The Altar Call

Focusing on the practice of public invitations in Christian evangelism, this book provides a comprehensive historical overview across three continents. It critically examines why prominent figures like John Wesley, George Whitefield, and Jonathan Edwards, foundational to modern evangelicalism, did not utilize the altar call system that became prevalent later. This insightful study appeals to both religious scholars and laypeople interested in the origins, evolution, and contemporary significance of the altar call in evangelical traditions.
