Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. Signs amid the Rubble: The Purposes of God in Human History

Ecumenicist Newbigin was widely regarded as one of the 20th century's most significant voices on Christianity and culture. Collected here are previously unpublished works of continuing relevance---his 1941 Bangalore Lectures on God's kingdom and modern "progress," his 1986 Henry Martyn Lectures dealing with Christian mission, and more. 121 pages, softcover from Eerdmans.

While this work is quite dated by now, Newbigin is right on target with his observations about the Kingdom of God, both in the Social Gospel as well as in the otherworldly view. His opinion is to be taken very seriously, because as a missionary outside of Europe and North America he could evaluate ivory tower theologies where the rubber hits the road.

Excellent material for global thinkers keen to reflect scripture over whatever mankind attempts to achieve. Too deep for some readers but I enjoyed it immensely.
