"This was one of 2 or 3 texts used in a class I took during my senior year at Covenant College. It is on my parents' bookshelf rather than mine so, sadly, I cannot at the moment look back at it, because it's been 8 years since I took that class! I want to "bounce off" from this one to his more recent work."
"Newbie is a good guy. You can tell he really means well when he's talking about missions, evangelism, etc. But he really should have read up a bit more on certain of the theological issues he tries to grapple with. For example, he completely butchers the biblical view of covenant in the section where he tries to deal with it. He makes the covenant out to be something that is purely unconditional, almost to the point of affirming K. Barth's Christic-monism and strict mono-covenantalism. Anyway, Newbie does a great job of laying out some of the historical issues surrounding missions (in both the west and the east), and does a good job of affirming the centrality of Christ for all missional purposes. The other area where LN is lacking is in his political views. He affirms the centrality of Christ for missions, but then seems to fall short of doing the same for world government (i.e., Christocracy). Overall, a descent book, but could have been improved upon greatly in some places."
"Newbigin has some very good things to say about mission and Trinity and culture for the Christian, but He must be read carefully. His ability to interact with pluralism and postmodern culture is insightful, but also at times, I think, is a bit too "open.""
"So i have to read this for school, but i really am enjoying it. Newbigin is one of the greatest missional theologians of our time. He has some excellent insights into the theology of evangelism, and missions in cultural contexts. There are sections that are a bit dry but over all its a great read."
