Inside alpha explorations in evangelism
UK church attendance hemorrhaging and Alpha Course is hailed as an effective tool for turning back the tide. From small beginnings in the early 1970s, Alpha Course has grown to become a global success. Churches across the denominational spectrum have seen it as a remedy for declining church attendance. This book explores such claims through qualitative research. It assesses Alpha's primary aim of converting non-churchgoers and its longer-term goal of spiritual maturity (Colosians 1:28-29). It questions whether the Alpha Course is as successful as it claims at uniting evangelism and discipleship, mission and spiritual formation.
