Confronting Pluralism with the Bible’s Story
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.

Newbigin is known most for his numerous books on this subject, one of which is The Gospel in a Pluralist Society.

Why did we choose to include key events that go beyond the resurrection of Christ?
