Few biblical topics are as important as mission. Mission is inextricably linked to humanitys sinfulness and need for redemption, and to Gods provision of salvation in the person and work of Jesus Christ. This good news of salvation must, however, be made known. Thus, the saving mission of Jesus constitutes the foundation for Christian mission, and the Christian gospel is its message. For Andreas Kostenberger and Peter OBrien this significant theme has rarely been given its due attention in biblical theology. Hence, they offer a comprehensive exploration of the theme through the entire sweep of biblical history, including the Old Testament, the Second Temple Period and the New Testament. Their motivation springs from a passion to see Gods mission carried out in todays world.
