YEADON, Mark  y  ROQUES, Mark. Dooyeweerd, Modal Aspects and Dynamic Evangelism. Koers (Online) [online]. 2023, vol.88, n.1, pp.1-14. ISSN 2304-8557.  http://dx.doi.org/10.19108/KOERS.88.1.2528.

The present work identifies the modal aspect theory as a tool capable of evaluating an evangelistic outreach event and an example of such an outreach event is analysed using this theory. The event considered involves the offer, in a public space, of hospitality in the form of refreshments to passers-by. Modal aspect theory is shown to be capable of dynamic and fruitfu application. It provides valuable insights into the way in which a biblically faithful outreach event may be organised and executed in such a way as to avoid reductionist influences, including Platonic dualism, and instead facilitate the establishment of a visible instance of the community of God's people gathered, under his kingdom reign, in a public space into which unbelievers are welcomed.
