Lesslie Newbigin

Wilbert Shenk (there's a name!) writes about Newbigin, "Lesslie Newbigin has been one of the decisive influences on the theology of mission in the twentieth century". He challenged the church to get out into the world and engage with culture rather than fearing and shunning it. He "devoted himself to reflecting on the life of faith as it intersected with that of the world". Newbigin died in 1998 after a life of significant writing, most of which can be found on this website. Go to newbigin.net.
