"Fundamentally, our mission (if it is biblically informed and validated) means our committed participation as God's people, at God's invitation and command, in God's own mission, which the Bible reveals to us as God's sovereign purposefulness in Christ from all eternity for the flourishing and redemption of God's creation along with humanity redeemed from all nations in the whole earth. The church's mission flows from, participates in, and is dependent on the mission of God."

An impressive interpretation of the Bible from a missional perspective, and a 2025 update of Wright's original 2006 work.

The book takes a little while to get going - with commentary on challenges to his original work and the changes he has made as a result, as well as explaining his hermeneutic approach - but when it gets into its stride provides a powerful and well-articulated affirmation of God's purpose, with a particular focus on tracing this through from the Old Testament.
