Summary

Exploring how the themes of universality and particularity are related in the Bible, Bauckham shows how universal blessing comes through God's work in one particular geographic location -- the land of Israel. The way in which God's love for all is mediated through the particular story of a particular people in a particular land opens up creative ways of handling the challenges of mission in our 'strange new world'. Bible and Mission will stimulate fresh thinking and will be of interest to students of the Bible and essential reading to practitioners, teachers and students of mission. Book jacket.
