THE MISSION OF GOD
Unlocking the Bible’s grand narrative
By Christopher J. H. Wright. IVP. 582 pages. £21.99
ISBN 978-1-84474-152-6

This is a great book in every sense. Here is no proof-texting or special pleading for missionary work, but the presentation of the biblical message of a God who is bringing the whole world to know and worship him. Wright has attempted to demonstrate that a hermeneutic for understanding the whole Bible is to view it as an account of the mission of God. This means that it should be read not just by those who have an interest in mission, but by all who want to engage with Scripture.

His first part works out the basis for this hermeneutic. A useful feature throughout the book is summaries in short points of what he has argued.
