This book offers an intellectual and spiritual biography of Lesslie Newbigin, a figure of patristic proportions in the twentieth-century history of the Church. Drawing on thirty-five years of personal and literary acquaintance with his subject and on a thorough examination of the Newbigin archives, Geoffrey Wainwright crafts a rich and varied portrait of this outstanding witness to the Gospel.

Review
"Wainwright, himself a distinguished ecumenist and theologian, has opened up new vistas not only on Lesslie but on all the areas of theological discourse he treats."--Tom Wright, Canon of Westminster
"I doubt whether any other [book about Newbigin] will present such a complete and discerning picture of a unique man....Wainwright, the theologian, has the gift of seeing Newbigin in all of his immensity and somehow has spoken of him with Newbigin's own voice and insight. He has given a great theological ordering to the Newbigin story that is not imposed; it arises naturally from a deep understanding of his subject. All of us who wish to continue work on Newbigin's 'unfinished agenda' have been given wonderful support and inspiration."--The Bible in Transmission
"Wainwright has shown himself to be an exemplary missiologist and theologian."--Toronto Journal of Theology
"A life well-worth considering, as is Wainwright's book... If you only want to read one book on Newbigin's life, his thinking, and his career, this is it."--Missiology: An International Review
