Session # 9, Newbigin

Newbigin is perhaps a 20 century Wesley who is eclectic and masters many skills and disciplines to become a powerful ambassador of the gospel.

1) On page 89, Newbigin quotes a Hindu scholar that Christians have misrepresented Christianity as another religion. Reflect upon this theological concept that the Bible is universal history for the world.

2) The logic of mission, explain the relationship of the gospel and the meaning of history as it relates to pluralism (p. 122). This is a vital perspective that connects to PM & ECM.

3) Discuss the polarities and resolution of Mission in word, deed, and new being (p. 135-136).

4) Respond to Kaufman's position of modern historical consciousness that Christ is not unique--the God/Man. (p. 159).
