The Mission of God's People
A Biblical Theology of the Church's Mission.
Chris Wright's pioneering 2006 book, The Mission of God, revealed that the
typical Christian understanding of missions encompasses only a small part of
God's overarching mission for the world. God is relentlessly reclaiming the
entire world for himself. In The Mission of God's People, Wright shows how
God's big-picture plan directs the purpose of God's people, the church.
Wright emphasizes what the Old Testament teaches Christians about being the
people of God. He addresses questions of both ecclesiology and missiology with
topics like 'called to care for creation', 'called to bless the nations',
'sending and being sent', and 'rejecting false gods'.
As part of the Biblical Theology for Life Series, this book provides pastors,
teachers and lay learners with first-rate biblical study while at the same time
addressing the practical concerns of contemporary ministry. The Mission of
God's People promises to enliven and refocus the study, teaching, and ministry
of those truly committed to joining God's work in the world.
What a marvelous author Chris Wright is! Here you get the distilled " insight of someone who knows mission and knows the Scriptures - and because he
is an Old Testament specialist, he gives that major part of the Scriptures the
prominence it deserves, even (especially?) when we are thinking about a subject
such as mission that might seem to belong to the New Testament. And he doesn't
confine himself to scriptural themes but enables us to get inside lots of
particular Scriptures, all in easily manageable chunks. What do theology and
mission have to do with each other? This book powerfully answers the
question. - John Goldingay
