EDUCATION IN A PLURALIST SOCIETY

[1] Bishop Lesslie Newbigin's essay, "What Kind of Society," and his paper on "Can a Modern Society be Christian" provide fertile ground for a consideration of issues central to our understanding of education in a religiously pluralist society. For the purposes of the present discussion I wish to identify three seminal themes in Newbigin's papers as orientation points for my own reflections. Since these themes are further elaborated in Newbigin's major book, The Gospel in a Pluralist Society, I will refer to this work as well. (References to the latter work will be identified with the abbreviation, GPS).
