Contents:
The church's identity and role : whose story? which images? ; God forms Israel as a missional people Israel embodies its missional role and identity amid the nations Jesus gathers an eschatological people to take up their missional calling The death and resurrection of Jesus and the church's missional identity The missional church in the New Testament story New Testament images of the missional church The missional church in the biblical story : a summary What might this look like today?
Summary: "There is a growing body of literature about the missional church, but the word missional 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"--Amazon.com.
