| Summary: | Aspects of the biography of Lesslie Newbigin illustrate the variety of ways that missional vision and the practical details of life have bearing on each other. These include defining moments, such as his vision of the cross during university years; context as the backdrop against which ideas are expressed; choices made in consistency with fundamental principles; and responses to the challenge to “put up or shut up.” In all of this, and more, Newbigin illustrates a life whose experience at the missional frontiers has in the end given him missionary eyes through which to view the church in each place and the place of each church. |
