What is the Bible actually about? While many of us read scripture in fragments, Christopher J. H. Wright invites you to step back and view the grand, overarching narrative of God’s redemptive mission. In The Mission of God, Wright demonstrates that mission is not just a secondary theme or an activity for the church—it is the very heart of the biblical story. By carefully tracing the themes of identity, purpose, and calling from Genesis to Revelation, this landmark work helps you see how the entire canon of scripture points toward God’s plan to restore and redeem his creation. This is a vital resource for theology students, church leaders, and curious believers who wish to grasp the 'big picture' of the Christian faith. With profound scholarship and a heart for the global church, Wright encourages you to see yourself as a participant in this ongoing narrative. By understanding the Bible’s grand mission, you will find new direction, deeper meaning, and a renewed passion for the work God is doing in the world today.
