false<![CDATA[The Mission of God: Unlocking the Bible's Grand Narrative]]>http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178365036m/788754.jpg7887541<p>Most Christians would agree that the Bible provides a basis for mission. But Christopher Wright boldly maintains that mission is bigger than that there is in fact a missional basis for the Bible! The entire Bible is generated by and is all about God's mission.</p><p>Beginning with the Old Testament and the groundwork it lays for understanding who God is, what he has called his people to be and do, and how the nations fit into God's mission, Wright gives us a new hermeneutical perspective on Scripture. This new perspective provides a solid and expansive basis for holistic mission. Wright emphasizes throughout a holistic mission as the proper shape of Christian mission. God's mission is to reclaim the world and that includes the created order and God's people have a designated role to play in that mission.</p><br><b>Market/Audience</b><ul><li>Students and professors of missions</li><li>Missionaries</li><li>Pastors and missionaries</li><li>Seminary students and professors</li></ul><br><b>Endorsements</b><br><p>"This book should be a required text for theologians and exegetes, pastors and students, missionaries and Christians in general."
