This collection of seventeen never-before-published essays,
sermons, and addresses by Lesslie Newbigin, one of the premier
missiologists of the twentieth century, puts forth his developing
view of the agenda for Christian mission from 1960 to 1992.
Considered "the quintessence of Newbigin's thought" by editor
Eleanor Jackson, these papers record the dynamics of Newbigin's
ideas about mission as he confronted new issues in the church and
society. Newbigin's sermon at Riverside Church in New York City in
1960 opens discussion on the themes of unity in mission, changes in
the missionary enterprise, and developments in the theology of
mission. A second group of articles addresses specific "frontline"
situations: mission in the modern city, the pastor's role in the
inner city, and the future of the parish church. Newbigin then
moves to frontier concerns: the resistance of modern society to the
gospel, the cultural captivity of the church, and the consequences
of witness in a world of religious and ideological pluralism -
themes central to many of his full-length books. Finally, Newbigin
sets the agenda for mission as the church approaches a new
millennium. Spanning three significant decades in the history of
church outreach, A Word in Season offers an important perspective
on the course of Christian mission and provides valuable
instruction to those who struggle with the missionary task today.
