| Résumé : |
In the decades since this prophetic volume was first published, Lesslie Newbigin’s Clarion call to reemphasize the missioriary character of the church has grown more necessary than ever. Though “mission statements” are the order of the day for both secular and religious institutions, for many in the Christian church the true meaning of mission has been splintered into confusion.
Aimed at bringing contemporary concerns in mission theology to a wide audience, The Open Secret flows from Newbigin’s extensive experience in the mission field and from lectures developed especially to prepare men and women for missionary service. Newbigin brilliantly describes the Christian mission as the declaration of an “open secret” — open in that it is preached to all nations, secret in that it is manifest only to the eyes of faith. His treatment is Christ-centered and posed within a trinitarian framework. The result is a thoroughly biblical attempt to lead the church to embrace its Christ-given task of presenting the gospel in our complex postmodern world. |
