Most Christians would agree that the Bible provides a basis for mission. But Christopher Wright boldly maintains that there is a missional basis for the Bible! The entire Bible is generated by and all about God's mission. In order to understand the Bible, we need a missional hermeneutic, an interpretive perspective in tune with this great missional theme. We need to see how the familiar bits and pieces fit into the grand narrative of Scripture. Beginning with the Old Testament and its groundwork for understanding who God is, what he has called his people to be and do, and how the nations fit into God's mission, Wright gives us a new hermeneutical perspective on Scripture. This perspective provides a solid and expansive basis for holistic mission. God's mission is to reclaim the world--including the created order--and God's people have a designated role to play.

Industry Reviews
"A rich and most impressive work. It is a splendid exposition of a comprehensive biblical theology of mission, and will have to be taken seriously by every student of the subject." -- Andrew F. Walls, Centre for the Study of World Christianity, University of Edinburgh
"This marvelous book is all I hoped and expected, and more. It threatens to revolutionize what people usually mean by the missional aspect of the Scriptures. And it also threatens to revolutionize understandings of the Scriptures by its demonstration that they are, through and through, a missional document." -- John Goldingay, David Allan Hubbard Professor of Old Testament, Fuller Theological
"This comprehensive study by a seasoned missiologist and Old Testament ethicist demonstrates that the entire Scripture is consistent in its message and thrust. I have waited years for a book like this!" -- M. Daniel Carroll R., Blanchard Professor of Old Testament, Wheaton College
"Wright has truly laid a cornerstone in the edifice of mission, one on which a biblical theology of mission would be wise to build." -- Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, June 2009
