This fully revised second edition of a genre-defining book on mission and the biblical material embodies both the original volumes' vitality, and the complex expansion of the conversation in the intervening decades.

Christopher J. H. Wright considers the question: 'Can we read the whole Bible from the perspective of the mission of God, and what happens when we do?'

His exploration, rooted in careful biblical study, demonstrates the core of the Bible's grand narrative, the mission of God. The authority for our mission flows from the Bible because the Bible reveals the realities on which our mission is based, and thereby authorizes us to act accordingly.

With major updates, an expanded bibliography, and new additional material, 'The Mission of God' is set to continue it's place as a modern evangelical classic.
