Lesslie Newbigin

Lesslie Newbigin was a British theologian who explored the relationship between Christianity and a pluralistic world, where many religions coexist. He argued against exclusivism—the idea that only one faith is true—suggesting instead that Christianity should engage openly with other beliefs. Newbigin emphasized a "missionary encounter" where Christians can share their faith while also recognizing the value in other perspectives. He believed that genuine dialogue among religions can enhance understanding and respect without compromising one's own beliefs, promoting a more inclusive approach to faith in a diverse society.
