Publisher's Summary

How can biblical authority be a reality for those shaped by the modern world?

Painful to listen to, but better because I did.

Although this was a struggle to finish, I found that there were many considerations still relevant to today's Church as was written in the 1980s. I highly reccomend all those interested in where the church should go missiologically in our world to give this a listen and consideration.

Good book for Postmodern culture with the Gospel.

This is a profound and complex writing of Lesslie Newbigin although it was written long ago yet it is still catering to the present day issue when it comes to understanding the Postmodern culture's perspective on the Gospel. I highly recommend this audiobook. A++++++
