For All Peoples: A Biblical Theology of Missions in the Gospels and Acts blends together rich scholarly insights, rooted in an unsurpassed knowledge of the first-century world, with an edifying and pastoral eye that is always focused on the radical nature of Jesus' call to follow him in his redemptive mission. Successive chapters illuminate the seminal contributions that Matthew, Luke, John, and Paul make to a biblical theology of missions. The final chapter, rooted in the narrative of Acts, appropriately ties together these themes by describing Paul's Macedonian vision as a call for the Church to take the gospel from its place of origin in Asia to the mission field of Europe. After almost two millennia, Keener reminds us just how relevant this call remains for the growing and vibrant churches of Asia today. -- NO Includes bibliographical references CN BV2073 SN 9798665145082 K1 Bible : Gospels : Criticism, interpretation, etc K1 Bible : Acts : Criticism, interpretation, etc K1 Bible - Critique, interprétation, etc K1 Bible K1 Missions : Theory : Biblical teaching K1 Missiologie - Enseignement biblique K1 Missions - Theory - Biblical teaching K1 Criticism, interpretation, etc
