Summary

How can biblical authority be a reality for those shaped by the modern world?

This work treats the First World as a mission field, offering a unique perspective on the relationship between the gospel and current society by presenting an outsider's view of contemporary Western culture.

communicating the Christian Gospel to the World

very carefully thought out and clearly communicated. gripping. a must read. doesn't water down the Christian gospel. challenges the modern attitude of sacred and secular being separate.

Just brilliant

I have been grappling with the kinds of questions addressed in this book for a while now and found that Newbigin puts words to ideas I was reaching towards in a way that I simply couldn't. I'll be buying a physical copy now for all the quotes. Wish I had found this sooner.
