Overview

Insights from a noteworthy convergence of top scholars in biblical studies and missiology.

Over the past half century, it has become clear that mission is a central theme in the Bible’s narrative and, moreover, is central to the very identity of the church. This book significantly widens and deepens the emerging conversation on missional hermeneutics.

Essays from top biblical and missiological scholars discuss reading the Scriptures missionally, using mission as a key interpretive lens. Five introductory chapters probe various elements of a missional hermeneutic, followed by sections on the Old and New Testaments that include chapters on two books from each to illustrate what a missional reading of them looks like. Essays in two concluding sections draw out the implications of a missional reading of Scripture for preaching and for theological education.

“Third, the gathering of the nations means that the form of God’s people changed. They are now a multiethnic community scattered throughout the world, and this new form brings fresh challenges.” (Page 24)

“That is the church constituted as God’s work of art, his poiēma. We are God’s poem, made so that the world can sing, see, and sense the rhythms of God’s love and power.” (Page 189)

“A second theme in Acts is the interplay of the centripetal and centrifugal dimensions of mission.” (Page 20)
