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.

Thanks for the information about Newbigin. As I said I only heard about him recently, so am fairly unfamiliar with him. I've noticed him on a lot of 'reformed' seminary reading lists, although I can't say how he is actually taught in the classroom. It's frustrating to see supposedly 'reformed' people recommend books by people like him, especially over solidly biblical writers.
