Lesslie Newbigin
“The minister’s leadership of the congregation in its mission to the world will be first and foremost in the area of his or her own discipleship, in that life of prayer and daily consecration which remains hidden from the world but which is the place where the essential battles are either won or lost.”
― Lesslie Newbigin, The Gospel in a Pluralist Society

Lesslie Newbigin
“A person who wields power cannot see truth; that is the privilege of the powerless.”
― Lesslie Newbigin, Foolishness to the Greeks: The Gospel and Western Culture

Lesslie Newbigin
“Does the use of the word “revelation” mean that reason has been left behind? Obviously not. Both the discovery by Kepler of a new pattern in the movement of the heavenly bodies and the disclosure to Moses of a personal calling become the starting point of a tradition of reasoning in which the significance of these disclosures is explored, developed, tested against new experience, and extended into further areas of thought.”
― Lesslie Newbigin, The Gospel in a Pluralist Society

Lesslie Newbigin
“Since total skepticism about ultimate beliefs is strictly impossible, in that no belief can be doubted except on the basis of some other belief, indifference is always in danger of giving place to some sort of fanaticism that can be as intolerant as any religion has ever been.”
― Lesslie Newbigin, Foolishness to the Greeks: The Gospel and Western Culture

Lesslie Newbigin
“In the twentieth century we have become accustomed to the fact that - in the name of the nation - Catholics will fight Catholics, Protestants will fight Protestants, and Marxists will fight Marxists. The charge of blasphemy, if it is ever made, is treated as a quaint anachronism; but the charge of treason, of placing another lyalty above that to the nation state, is treated as the unforgivable crime. The nation state has taken the place of God.”
― Lesslie Newbigin, The other side of 1984
