  • The Gospel in a Pluralist Society by Lesslie Newbigin
    Oct 17 2024

    This excerpt from Lesslie Newbigin's book, The Gospel in a Pluralist Society, explores the challenges of Christian faith in a contemporary world characterised by cultural and religious pluralism. Newbigin argues that the danger of relativism, prevalent in much contemporary discussion, hinders Christians from confidently asserting their faith. He challenges the widespread separation of "facts" and "values" and seeks to show how the Gospel provides a framework for understanding the world and engaging with its challenges. He highlights the need for a "critique of doubt", emphasizing that doubt must be grounded in belief, and underscores the primary role of faith in the pursuit of knowledge. The text further examines the concept of "plausibility structures", arguing that the Gospel offers a new way of understanding the world, distinct from those prevalent in other cultures. Newbigin then tackles the notion of "election", illustrating how God's unique action in history, particularly in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, provides a basis for understanding God's purpose for humankind. He critiques the tendency to reduce Christian faith to a matter of individual belief, asserting that a true understanding of the Gospel involves a transformation of both individual and societal life. Newbigin then explores the concept of mission, emphasizing the need to engage with the world in a way that both proclaims the Gospel and participates in the struggle for justice and peace. Throughout the text, Newbigin seeks to equip Christians with a robust framework for engaging with the complexities of their contemporary world, encouraging them to confidently assert the truth of the Gospel in a pluralistic and often sceptical context.
