About This paperback
Mission was at the heart of the life of the Early Church and the Gospels, yet very little attention has been given to the subject by New Testament scholars. The churches at the time of the Gospels were compelled to forge their own identity over and against Judaism. They were also wrestling with the practical and theological problems of successful mission to the Gentile nations. In this book, the author looks closely at the theme of mission in each of the Gospels before drawing his findings together and relating them to the life and the challenges faced by today's church.
Geoffrey Harris has produced a very readable survey of the nature and place of mission in the Gospels (with Acts thrown in for good measure) that shows well the many and varied forms that Christian witness took in the early church and draws appropriate consequences for the church today. The primary emphasis is on love in action but also on the need for every member of the church to become informed and articulate in their witness as they help and encourage one another in the power of the Spirit. This is a helpful addition to the burgeoning literature that recognises and expounds the fundamentally and essentially missionary character of the early church.
