Lesslie Newbigin was one of the twentieth century's most significant missionaries, and his seminal thinking on the church in today's multicultural world has yet to be fully appreciated. A Scandalous Prophet presents the first serious attempt to wrestle with—and in some ways extend—Newbigin's missiological vision.

Scholars from across the cultural, theological, and ecclesiological spectrums engage to new depths all of Newbigin's major themes. Ending with a comprehensive annotated bibliography of Newbigin's work, this volume is an essential reference on Newbigin's thought and an excellent introduction to current issues in mission.
