TF572 The Missiology of Lesslie Newbigin

Churches in North America can no longer do business as usual, because the culture has changed. We must recover what it means to be a body of people sent on a mission. This requires leaders who know God, who teach with insight, who form genuine Christian community, and who can lead congregations into their missions

Background
George Hunsberger brings to the teaching of missiology a rich variety of personal experience. Ordained in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), he has been a campus staff member of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship; a pastor; a missionary team leader for Africa Foundation in Nairobi, Kenya; and a teacher at Princeton Theological Seminary and at his alma mater, Belhaven College. He came to Western in 1989, where he continues his special interests in exploring how the gospel speaks within and across cultures and in fostering congregations in North America who are missionaries for the encounter of the gospel with Western culture.

Dr. Hunsberger is coordinator of the Gospel and Our Culture Network in North America, whose administrative home is Western Seminary. He is the author of Bearing the Witness of the Spirit: Lesslie Newbigin's Theology of Cultural Plurality, co-author of Missional Church: A Theological Vision for the Sending of the Church in North America, and co-editor of Christian Ethics in Ecumenical Context: Theology, Culture, and Politics in Dialogue and The Church Between Gospel and Culture. He has also contributed many articles and reviews to missiological, Reformed, and Presbyterian journals.
