Abstract
This article explores the legitimacy of evident tension between the evangelistic and family commissions of evangelical Christians. Legitimacy is sought within the context of wider tensions revealed on the social level of Christianized civilizations, represented here by the Croatian example, as well as within the context of the New Testament writings which greatly influenced it. Theological interpretation of these tensions is offered within the eschatological model of the inaugurated kingdom and is suggested as a frame of reference for their evaluation and understanding. The main argument of the article seeks to show that both successes and failures of evangelical Christians in the area of the integration of family life and evangelistic enterprise equally bare testimony to the truth of the gospel and follow the eschatological dynamics of the New Testament as well as the progress of the history of salvation.
