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.
