Very excited to see Newbigin's works come to Logos. I do wish they would've included Household of God, Unfinished Agenda, and A Walk Through the Bible to round out the scope of the package.

If you haven't got to grips with anything of Newbigin's thinking, you're missing a treat. He didn't just work up a great CV - he lived thought and communicated mission, traditionally, freshly, creatively and cogently. A shame there's only 8 of his volumes in this collection - but these ARE key works.
