Correspondence from Peter F. Jensen, then principal of Moore Theological College, which canvases the renaming of the singles quarters at Moore College under the name 'John Chapman House'.

The correspondence confirms the publishing relationship established between Chapman and Matthias Media for the republication of his popular work, Know and Tell the Gospel. The correspondence also reveals that the republished material was intended to address the growing discussion surrounding 1) the identity of the evangelist, 2) the supportive roles played by congregation members in the evangelistic process, and 3) the breadth of the Christian’s responsibility/involvement in evangelism.

This documentation provides a six-week training course (undated) from the Department of Evangelism on evangelistic preaching, outlining similar content to the more fully developed material later set out in Chapman’s work, Setting Hearts on Fire. It highlights Chapman’s emphasis on all preaching as being evangelistic, the content of the Christian gospel, the preparation of an evangelistic talk, the packaging of a talk including introductions, conclusions, and illustrations, as well as the theology and sociology of calling for response and follow-up.
