What is the Christian message to our postmodern age? In this influential, best-selling book Lesslie Newbigin draws from prominent thinkers across the disciplines to suggest that knowledge of the truth is always risky; it always requires personal commitment rather than dispassionate inquiry. The universal claims of Christianity become convincing only in the context of a particular community that embodies the Christian story. Distilling a lifetime of wisdom garnered throughout Newbigin’s wide-ranging career, The Gospel in a Pluralist Society confidently yet compassionately affirms the good news of Jesus Christ for today’s world. --from back cover
