“Finally and most important, we must learn to propagate the faith, to spread the gospel, to modern man. In every era the task of evangelism has changed as human societies changed. We learned how to ‘reach’ the citizen of imperial Rome, the barbarian of northern Europe, the Slav of the Steppes and the tribesman of central Africa. Now we are confronted with a new challenge, modern materialistic suburban man, who is as thoroughly ignorant of Christianity as any of the others were, but who, curiously, is far more open to our message than was his pseudo-Christian father.”
