Synopsis

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, The Mission of God's People: Audio Lectures includes high-quality live recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources. The typical Christian understanding of "missions" encompasses only a small part of God's overarching mission in the world. But God is relentlessly reclaiming the entire world for himself. In The Mission of God's People: Audio Lectures author and international ministries expert Chris Wright explores how God's big-picture plan directs the purpose of God's people, the church. Each session emphasizes what the Old Testament teaches Christians about being the people of God and addresses both ecclesiology and missiology with topics like "called to care for creation," "called to bless the nations," "sending and being sent," and "rejecting false gods." The Mission of God's People: Audio Lectures provide pastors, teachers, students, and lay learners with first-rate biblical study while at the same time addressing the practical concerns of contemporary ministry. The Mission of God's People: Audio Lectures enliven and refocus the study, teaching, and ministry of those truly committed to joining God's work in the world.

Goodreads review by Pig on August 14, 2019

Mixed review. Some parts of the book were really good especially the quotes he pulls. It was definitely edifying. The biggest problem was the weighting of the book: 1/4 of the Bible is not about ecological preservation. His ideas were Biblical and true; however, they should have been weighted more B......more

Goodreads review by Marshall on October 29, 2021

A great survey of the biblical theme of the mission of God and his people. It really helped me refine my sense of the story of the Bible as a whole and generated a lot of personal inspiration for living in the church right now. I think it would also be a great book to use in a group study setting. A......more

Goodreads review by Avery on July 04, 2023

Just reread this and decided it will need to be on my yearly reread list. Most helpful thing I learned this time around was what being “missional” looks like biblically, not just for the missionaries across the world, but for everyone now. Spoiler alert: it’s not super complex......more

Goodreads review by Grace Catherine on April 06, 2025

Wright outlines a practical, biblical theology of what it means to be God’s people and how to then live into a robust, all-permeating definition of mission. Wright begins the book by offering a definition of mission that, rather than being confined to the grounds of foreign soil and Matthew 28 evang......more

Goodreads review by Erin on February 14, 2022

Good intro and expanding definition of mission. I appreciated that Wright did not merely define mission as going out to other nations, but as partnering with God’s mission that he started in creation and will finish in the new creation. Each chapter focused on a different section of old and New Test......more
