A Light To The Nations ¿ The Missional Church And The Biblical Story Av Michael W. Goheen

There is a growing body of literature about the missional church, but the word <i>missional </i>is often defined in competing ways with little attempt to ground it deeply in Scripture. Michael Goheen, a dynamic speaker and the coauthor of two popular texts on the biblical narrative, unpacks the missional identity of the church by tracing the role God''s people are called to play in the biblical story. Goheen shows that the church''s identity can be understood only when its role is articulated in the context of the whole biblical story--not just the New Testament, but the Old Testament as well. He also explores practical outworkings and implications, offering field-tested suggestions for contemporary churches.
