The Gospel in a Pluralist Society
Lesslie
Newbigin
Paperback: 255 pages
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans
Publishing Co.; (October 1990)
ISBN: 0802804268
Description:
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 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. (www.christianbook.com)

after John Calvin, a 16th century theologian, and Thomas Hobbes,
