Lesslie Newbigin is not Reformed nor even theologically conservative. I think the following quote reveals enough about Newbigin, even though the author of the quote has his own errors to account for, e.g., semi-Pelagian, KJV Onlyist, etc.: "LESSLIE NEWBIGIN (1909-1998). He was a bishop in the very liberal Church of South India and was Associate General Secretary in the radically heretical World Council of Churches. In The Gospel in a Pluralist Society Newbigin denied that the Bible is the verbally-plenarily inspired Word of God and said the 18th century defenders of the faith were in error when they taught that the Bible is a set of timeless truths. Newbigin falsely claimed that Jesus did not leave behind "a book, nor a creed, nor a system of thought, nor a rule of life" (p. 20). Newbigin wrote, "All so-called facts are interpreted facts. . . What we see as facts depends on the theory we bring to the observation" (The Gospel in a Pluralist Society, p. 21). Newbigin called the split between liberals and fundamentalists "tragic" (p. 24). He taught that there is the possibility of salvation apart from faith in Christ."
by David Cloud From what I've read from Newbigin, mostly quotes and testimonials from admirers, what Cloud wrote in the quote above is accurate. In short, Lesslie Newbigin, who btw is seen in a positive light by Tim Keller, Brian McClaren (emergent church heretic), and quite a number of "questionable" individuals, is simply another one to completely avoid.
