Abstract
Lesslie Newbigin Is An Inspirational Figure Whose Theological Legacy Should Be Considered Carefully. Using A New Book By Michael Goheen As Guideline (The Church And Its Vocation: Lesslie Newbigin’s Missionary Ecclesiology), This Article Focuses On Newbigin’s Views Regarding The Identity And Mandate Of The Church. Two Aspects Are Noted With Appreciation: Newbigin’s Defense Of The Uniqueness Of Christ And His Critique Of Western Culture. There Are Concerns, However, With Respect To Three Aspects Of Newbigin’s Ecclesiology: His Views Of Salvation, Election, And The Mandate Of The Church. The Common Thread In Newbigin’s Approach Appears To Be His Aversion And Over-reaction Against What He Deemed To Be An Individualistic View Of Salvation. KEYWORDS:
