Description

In two of his last public addresses before his death in 1998, delivered at Samford University, Bishop Newbigin articulated his compelling vision for the Church and the Christian Gospel in the modern world. It was a vision that had distinguished Newbigin as one of the most incisive and insightful religious leaders of the 20th century. Newbigin's lecture on "The Gospel as Public Truth" offers courageous and sometimes controversial perspective for years to come in the inevitable debate that will grip our society pertaining to religion and public policy. And his sermon on "The Missionary Mandate" will arouse new commitment among those who take seriously the message and mission of Jesus Christ.
