Foolishness to the Greeks: The Gospel and Western Culture

Newbigin hits the question of what is required for an authentic missionary encounter between Jesus' gospel and Western culture--in its secular, pagan, post-christian, atheistic, and hardened expressions. I found I agree with much of what he argues, but at many points felt like he was saying in the mid-eighties things that Francis Schaeffer had said 20 years earlier.

He ends the book with seven recommendations for the church to act upon if we hope to proclaim the good news in a way that its heard by our culture in the West.

Excellent, engaging book.

Too dense to listen to- better to read.

How the church can engage relevantly with Western modern culture
