This paper argues that while evangelicalism has sought to maintain the importance of communicating a normative understanding of faith, it has done so primarily through a didactic understanding of evangelism. This has made it difficult to integrate informal and non-verbal expressions into an account of evangelism and, I argue, has contributed to evangelicalism’s problems of understanding the relationship between evangelism and social action. By turning to lived experience, and the ‘theology in four voices’ framework from theological action research, I suggest a conversational model of evangelism which enables a move away from a didactic model without losing a commitment to communicating a normative understanding of Christian faith. This model relates more clearly to the lived experience of participants in my research and enables a more integrated understanding of evangelism, which places greater value on the ordinary and everyday expression of faith.

本文认为，虽然福音派一直试图保持传达对信仰的规范理解的重要性，但它主要是通过对传福音的说教式理解来做到这一点的。这使得将非正式的和非语言的表达方式整合到传福音的叙述中变得很困难，我认为，这也导致了福音派在理解传福音和社会行动之间的关系方面遇到的问题。通过转向生活经验和神学行动研究中的“四种声音的神学”框架，我提出了一种对话式的传福音模式，它可以摆脱说教模式，而不会失去对传达对基督教信仰的规范理解的承诺。
