Responding to the growing needs and demands of a globalised and postmodern world, Richard Bauckham presents a biblical understanding of mission that engages with current concerns
Bauckham explores how the themes of universality and particularity are related in the Bible. Universal blessing for the world comes through a particular people, Israel. Blessing for every place comes through God's work in one particular geographic location - the land of Israel.
The way in which God's love for all is mediated through the particular story of a particular people in a particular land opens up creative ways of handling the challenges of mission in a postmodern world. Bible and Mission will stimulate our attitude, thinking and practice towards Christian witness and mission, and will be essential reading to practitioners, teachers and students of mission.
