What does evangelism, the proclamation of the Christian gospel, look or sound like in a postcolonial era, a time in which there is a reluctance to assert a metanarrative that marginalizes the many voices of the pluralistic public sphere? Surprisingly, perhaps like how it may have originally gone forth in the first century via the apostolic followers of Jesus the Messiah. This essay suggests a re-reading of Luke-Acts, via what might be called a Pentecostal hermeneutic, one informed by foregrounding the Day of Pentecost narrative of the Spirit poured out on all flesh, in order to sketch an apostolic theology of evangelistic praxis for the contemporary post-colony. 一个后殖民的时代,是不愿对在多元的公共领域排斥多种声音的元叙事作出什么断言的。在这样的时代,宣教或者基督教福音的宣讲会是怎样的呢?令人惊讶的是,它可能就像早期透过弥赛亚耶稣的使徒追随者所传讲的那样。本文建议重读路加福音和使徒行传,或称为五旬宗式的阐释学,就是以圣灵浇灌所有凡有血气的五旬节的事件为前提,勾画出一个当代后殖民的宣教实践的使徒神学。 ¿Cómo se ve o cómo suena el evangelismo y la proclamación del evangelio cristiano en una época postcolonial; una época en el que hay renuencia a afirmar una metanarrativa que marginaliza las muchas voces de una esfera pública pluralista? Quizás sea sorprendente analizar cómo pudo haberse originado en el primer siglo con los seguidores apostólicos de Jesús el Mesías. Este ensayo sugiere una relectura de Lucas y de Hechos de los apóstoles, utilizando lo que se podría llamar una hermenéutica pentecostal que pone en primer plano la narrativa del Espíritu derramado sobre toda carne en el Día de Pentecostés para esbozar una teología apostólica de la praxis evangelística para la época actual post-colonial.
