I would like to thank all of the webpage designers whose work made my study possible: Michelle Akers and the staff at Campus Crusade for Christ, for the first and still one of the best evangelistic sites I have ever seen; Brent Purves and David Sloan at Campus Crusade for Christ Canada, for their invaluable insight and thoughtful replies; to Henk Frijters for an incredibly interesting and delightfully unusual witness for Christ; to David Bruce and his family – Hollywood Jesus is a credit to the effectiveness of your ministry; and finally to Stephen Sternberg of Stonewall Revisited, for a challenging concept and thoughtful delivery of that concept. I must also thank Andrew Careaga, for his book E-vangelism: Sharing the Gospel in Cyberspace, which inspired the title of this study.
Special thanks go to Tony Whittaker for his interest and his support of this project from almost the moment I began writing. He has offered help in the content and editing of this thesis, and is responsible for a comprehensive resource guide and a remarkable newsletter.
I would also like to express my appreciation for the unfailing support of my supervisor, Dr. Roger Goodman; and to thank Dr. Clare Harris, Dr. Heather Montgomery and Professor Robert Barnes for their critical commentary.
