Vol. 36 (2022)

With thanks for our readers' patience, I am very pleased to be sharing this year's volume of Witness: Journal of the Academy for Evangelism in Theological Education. While we tend to release a volume closer to the mid-point of the year, our choice to delay publishing was intentional, as it allowed us to include several fine presentations made at the annual meeting of the AETE in June. They display the kind of work we hope might be developed in the field, presenting rigorous theological, historical, and practical research for the purpose of shaping Christian witness. The same can be found in the span of reviews included in this volume, with many thanks to our Book Review Editor, Dr. David Gustafson, for his curating work.

We are already turning our face to the coming year as 2023 represents the 50th anniversary of the founding of AETE. For the annual meeting as well as for the next volume of the Witness journal, we have chosen the theme: "Gospel Witness: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow." Our hope is that such a theme will invite pieces that consider the whole span of AETE's work and witness, past, present, and future. Let me encourage you now to consider presenting a paper at the annual meeting or submitting a piece for next year's journal. You can find more information at our Journal's website.
