Who was Lesslie Newbigin?

Lesslie Newbigin was a British missionary to India.  His teachings and writings have been very influential on many, and that influence seems to continue to grow.  His reflections on the relation of the church and the gospel to the culture have been particularly helpful to me.  Some of his writings include:

• The Open Secret:  an introduction to the theology of mission
• Foolishness to the Greeks
• The Gospel in a Pluralist Society
• The Good Shepherd
