His enormous influence has been felt ever since. Newbigin (1909-1998) was a longtime Church of Scotland missionary to India and later General Secretary of the International Missionary Council and Associate General Secretary of the World Council of Churches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first installment in the Missiological Engagements series, the essays in this volume explore three aspects of Newbigin's legacy. First, they assess the impact of his 1989 book, \u003cem\u003eGospel in a Pluralist Society\u003c\/em\u003e, on Christian mission and evangelism in the West. Second, they critically analyze the nature of Western pluralism in its many dimensions to discern how Christianity can proclaim good news for today. Finally, the contributors discuss the influence of Newbigin's work on the field of missiology. By looking backward, this volume recommends and advances a vision for Christian witness in the pluralistic world of the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributions from leading missiologists and theologians, including: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWilliam Burrows\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eJohn Flett\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVeli-Matti Kärkkäinen\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEsther Meek\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWilbert Shenk\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMissiological Engagements charts interdisciplinary and innovative trajectories in the history, theology, and practice of Christian mission, featuring contributions by leading thinkers from both the Euro-American West and the majority world whose missiological scholarship bridges church, academy, and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott W.
