RT Article T1 Mission as the integrating principle of biblical and theological studies JF Pacifica VO 27 IS 1 SP 68 OP 77 A1 Kavunkal, Jacob LA English PB Sage Publ. YR 2014 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1775196526 AB This article argues that God’s mission to the world is the integrating principle of all biblical and theological studies. The Bible is the narration of God’s reaching out to the world, and theological education must synchronize the Christian to God’s agenda for the world, which requires a ‘postal-code’ interpretation of the Bible. Theological disciplines are not academic shareholders contributing to the academic industry. Rather, they must empower one to mediate the vision of Jesus for our history.
