The Mission of God is a work of theological apologetics and cultural philosophy that examines the religious foundations of all thought and action in human life. In this expanded tenth-anniversary edition, Joseph Boot explores the biblical perspective on everyday cultural matters, demonstrating the abiding validity and authority of the whole Word of God for every aspect of life. He writes in the introduction, "What is the calling of God's covenant people in history? What is the kingdom of God, and how does it manifest itself? What does the reign of God look like, and how are we to discern God working? What is the relationship between faith and public morality and policy? What should the relationship between church and state be? Is religious pluralism a biblically compatible and workable theology of state? Does the church have a future in history? Are Christians called to transform cultures? In short, what is the mission of God, and what part do we have to play? These questions have become increasingly pertinent for the church today, especially in the Western world, because it is widely recognized that Western civilization is facing an epochal turning point." The Mission of God is an exhortation to rediscover an unashamedly biblical and public commitment to the Lordship of Jesus Christ for every dimension of human existence.
