4The quote, taken from Guderâs unpublished manuscript âThe Missiological Context,â was Guderâs own summation of Lesslie Newbiginâs description of the challenge facing western churches in a post-Christendom context. For example: â[Most thoughtful Christians] recognize that, with the radical secularization of Western culture, the churches are in a missionary situation in what was once Christendomâ (Lesslie Newbigin, The Open Secret [Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1995], 3). With thanks to Professor Guder for providing me a personal copy of the manuscript. Used by permission.
