Bible and Mission: Christian Witness in a Postmodern World
Richard Bauckham
Baker Academic, 2004-01-01 - 112 pages
This
engaging study provides a new way of looking at Scripture--one that
takes seriously the biblical idea of mission. Richard Bauckham shows how
God identifies himself with particular individuals or people in human
history in order to be known by all. He is the God of Abraham, Israel,
and David and, finally, the one who acts through Jesus Christ. Bauckham
applies these insights to the contemporary scene, encouraging those
involved in mission to be sensitive to postmodern concerns about
globalization while at the same time emphasizing the uniqueness of
Christian faith. In doing so, he demonstrates the diversity of Christian
faith around the world. This book will be rewarding reading for
pastors, lay readers, and students of Scripture, mission, and
postmodernism.
