Brit Hume Followup: Defending Proselytizing

Here is an OUTSTANDING post I highly recommend you read in light of the recent Brit Hume controversy where he publicly urged Tiger Woods to pursue faith in Jesus Christ as it offers true redemption whereas Buddhism does not. Many have been critical of Hume for his comments. This brief essay offers brief, helpful responses to others' objections against evangelism. Here are each of the objections dealt with in the article. Read the whole thing here, for responses to each objection.

Objection #1: “Brit Hume’s remarks indicate that he thinks Christianity is superior to Buddhism.”

Objection #2: “Christianity looks bad when Christians talk this way. Christians should not publicly and actively proselytize people of other faiths.”

Objection #3: “Brit Hume implied that Buddhism is deficient in some way.”

Objection #4: "It is arrogant for Brit Hume to assume he believes in the only true religion and to try to lead people to the Christian faith."

Objection #5: "Brit Hume’s attempt to evangelize Tiger Woods shows how exclusive and narrow-minded fundamentalist Christians are."
