Confronting Pluralism with the Bible’s Story
September 30, 2009 | Posted by Wayne Haston
From The Gospel in a Pluralist Society by Lesslie Newbigin Lesslie Newbigin (1909-1998) was a Church of Scotland missionary to South India from 1936 to 1974. Although he was a leading figure in the World Council of Churches, Newbigin certainly did not succumb to the error of pluralism, as have many in the ecumenical movement. Upon returning to Britain from his missionary life in India, Newbigin dedicated himself to confronting secularism in post-Christian Western culture. He viewed the secularism of Western societies not at atheistic, but as pagan, embracing its own forms of false gods. Newbigin is known most for his numerous books on this subject, one of which is The Gospel in a Pluralist Society.

How many unique events or stories are there in the Bible? That's really impossible to answer for sure, since it's often difficult to determine where one event or story begins and another one starts. But any way you look at it, there are hundreds of events or stories in the Bible. So how does a person determine which Bible stories or events should be selected to best summarize God's Big Story if the limit is 40 stories or events?
End-Focus for The Story of Hope
September 23, 2009 | Posted by Wayne Haston
Evangelistic chronological Bible teaching resources all begin with the creation account in Genesis. They continue through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in the gospels, but many of them stop there. Our Good Soil E&D resources (The Story of Hope and The Journey to Faith, for example) cover key events in the Bible’s redemptive story from the creation account in Genesis 1 & 2 through the establishment of the eternal state in Revelation 21 & 22. Why did we choose to include key events that go beyond the resurrection of Christ?
