What's amazing about this book is how contemporary it is in its thoughts, not in style of writing. These are lectures given in 1958 yet speak to the world today, As has been written elsewhere: "Lesslie Newbigin was a frontline thinker because of an uncommon ability to sense the emerging issue that must be addressed at that moment. What drew his attention was those issues that impinged on the future of the church and its obedience in mission: the nature of the church in relation to unity and mission, the relevance of the Trinity, the gospel and the religions, the proper meaning of contextualisation, conversion, pluralism, Christian witness in a culture that has rejected Christendom. Time and again Newbigin led the way in introducing an issue that would become a dominant theme in the ensuing years." This book is evidence! ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Is the world really becoming one civilization? If so, will its religions merge? Or if Christianity has a unique authority, what are the presuppositions and content of the revelation which it embodies? And how must its institutions change in order that it may fulfill its mission to the nations? These are the questions asked, and to a surprising extent answered, by Lesslie Newbigin, one time Bishop of the Church of South India who lead the missionary studies sponsored by the World Council of Churches. All who are interested in the comparison of religions or in the mission of the Church, will value his presentation of vast and important themes. One of the thinkers criticized is Dr. Arnold Toynbee, who writes: A fine book . . . I particularly admire the way in which Bishop Newbigin states the case of people with whom he disagrees. Another, Sir S. Radhakrishnan, writes: I have read it through with great interest. It is written with deep conviction and expresses the orthodox Christian point of view.
