What is the #NoPlaceLeft Movement and Why it Matters

Abstract

After nearly forty years as a missionary in Southern India, Lesslie Newbigin returned to his homeland of the UK in 1974 to find himself to be a missionary there as well.  While he had been ministering the gospel to a people far from God in India, his countrymen back “home” had undergone seismic cultural shifts ushering in a post-Christian era with unique challenges of its own.  Thus, the repatriated Newbigin was once again learning to speak a “new language” and to interpret a “new worldview”.  His missionary career wasn’t over.  Instead, it was taking on new beginnings in a land that had in many respects, lost its familiarity.
