I thought this was an excellent look at what the mission of the church is supposed to be. The current hot topic seems to be all about social justice and tackling the injustices of society such as human trafficking, the poor and downtrodden. The authors take us back to the Bible to see what Jesus said the mission of the church is supposed to be. They look at Scripture's take on social justice and the commands that Jesus gave His disciples before returning to Heaven.

Towards the end they do address how & why Christians should be engaged in good works, how that should relate to the gospe

great readable technical treatment and application of several NT and OT key mission texts. Very driven toward declarative great commission focus. Last chapter was an enjoyable fiction interaction between a new church planter and a seasoned inner-city pastor.
