C Wright, The Mission of God's People (Bill)


The book I mentioned was by C Wright. The Mission of God's People. Zondervan. 2010

This is a biblical theology of the Church's mission and the privileged role afforded to all of God's people in fulfilling the Missio Dei (Mission of God) in the world. This overarching theme is handled under such chapter headings as: People who care for Creation, People who are a blessing to the nations, People who walk in God's way, People who represent God to the world, People who attract others.

His writing is not dense or turgid,  but almost conversational.

Chris Wright was a colleague of mine at All Nations Christian College in England. He is currently the head of John Stott Ministries. He comes from a Presbyterian background in Northern Ireland and is now an ordained Anglican. He has a doctorate from Cambridge University in OT studies.
