Hearts Minds Bookstore's Best Books of 2015, Theology Toward the
end of the twentieth century, Lesslie Newbigin offered a
penetrating analysis of the challenges of pluralism that confronted
a Western culture and society reeling from the dissolution of
Christendom. His enormous influence has been felt ever since.
Newbigin (1909-1998) was a longtime Church of Scotland missionary
to India and later General Secretary of the International
Missionary Council and Associate General Secretary of the World
Council of Churches. The first installment in the Missiological
Engagements series, the essays in this volume explore three aspects
of Newbigin?s legacy. First, they assess the impact of his 1989
book, Gospel in a Pluralist Society, on Christian mission and
evangelism in the West. Second, they critically analyze the nature
of Western pluralism in its many dimensions to discern how
Christianity can proclaim good news for today. Finally, the
contributors discuss the influence of Newbigin's work on the field
of missiology. By looking backward, this volume recommends and
advances a vision for Christian witness in the pluralistic world of
the twenty-first century. Contributions from leading missiologists
and theologians, including: William Burrows John Flett Veli-Matti
Karkkainen Esther Meek Wilbert Shenk Missiological Engagements
charts interdisciplinary and innovative trajectories in the
history, theology, and practice of Christian mission, featuring
contributions by leading thinkers from both the Euro-American West
and the majority world whose missiological scholarship bridges
church, academy, and society.
