"Walls in History" - A Historical Perspective on Prison Ministry

Abstract

Ministry to prisoners has a rich history. Whether it was someone relating information to John the Baptist or Paul and Silas singing songs and converting, prison ministry has been around since biblical times. Balge discusses the unique history of prison ministry through the years. He comments on both blessings and challenges of prison ministry. The rich history of prison ministry teaches how it can help us evaluate our attitudes and actions, and especially help us to appreciate the power of the Gospel.
