Descrição
Resumo: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.
