It was historically cultural in the days of Jesus that the synagogue was a place of dialogue and debate. It seemed that in the Jewish environment of the Gospels and the early Jerusalem Church this style of presentation of the Gospel prevailed. As the Gospel went out to the Gentiles, the presentation method of the Gospel changed and came into line with the Great Commission of Jesus, they went and they preached. In a Gentile environment I do not think that public dialogue and debate are generally effective tools of evangelism.
