Description

Christianity Today 2024 Book Award (Missions/Global Church)

Outreach 2024 Resource of the Year (Mission and Cross-Cultural)

Highly regarded biblical scholar and speaker Christopher Wright shows us that how we read the Bible has a profound impact on how we understand what mission is. According to Wright, People read (and preach) the Bible in tiny bits and pieces, for its promises or rules or doctrines, and fail to take it . . . as the true story of the universe, past, present, and future, within the plan and purposes of Goda story in which we are called to participate as coworkers with God.

Wright encourages us to explore the Bibles grand narrative and to bring the whole counsel of God in Scripture to our understanding of who we are and what we must do as Gods people. He helps us understand mission in its broadest sense, including our creational responsibilities. Wrights goal is to get us excited about the dramatic vista of the whole Bible and to help us understand the breadth and depth of missional engagement that we are called to live as actors in that drama.
