The Mission of God
Unlocking the Bible's Grand Narrative.Most christians would
agree that the Bible provides a basis for mission. Wright believes that there
is actually a missional basis for the whole Bible - it is generated by, and is
all about, GodÉs mission. In order to understand the Bible, we need an
interpretative perspective that is in tune with this great missional theme. We
need to see the Èbig pictureÉ of GodÉs mission and how all parts of Scripture
fit into its grand narrative. In this comprehensive and accessible study,
Wright begins with the Old Testament understanding of who God is, what he has
called his people to be and to do, and where the nations belong within GodÉs
mission. These themes are followed into the New Testament. Throughout, Wright
emphasizes that biblically-defined mission is intrinsically holistic. GodÉs
mission is to redeem his whole creation from all that sin and evil have
inflicted upon it, and the mission of God's people must reflect the breadth of
God's righteous and saving love for all he has made. (= 0830825711 /
9780830825714)'This book should be a required text for theologians
and exegetes, pastors and students, missionaries and Christians in
general.' - Eckhard J. Schnabel'This marvelous book is all I
hoped and expected, and more. [...] We are so fortunate to have the mature
fruit of a lifetime's reflection on the missional nature of the Bible by this
outstanding teacher, scholar and missionary theologian.' - John
