How does the gospel relate to a pluralist society? What is the
Christian message in a society marked by religious pluralism,
ethnic diversity, and cultural relativism? Should Christians
encountering today's pluralist society concentrate on evangelism or
on dialogue? How does the prevailing climate of opinion affect,
perhaps infect, Christians' faith?These kinds of questions are
addressed in this noteworthy book by Lesslie Newbigin. A highly
respected Christian leader and ecumenical figure, Newbigin provides
a brilliant analysis of contemporary (secular, humanist, pluralist)
culture and suggests how Christians can more confidently affirm
their faith in such a context.While drawing from scholars such as
Michael Polanyi, Alasdair MacIntyre, Hendrikus Berkhof, Walter
Wink, and Robert Wuthnow, The Gospel in a Pluralist Society is
suited not only to an academic readership. This heartfelt work by a
missionary pastor and preacher also offers to Christian leaders and
laypeople some thoughtful, helpful, and provocative reflections.
