FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This is a work of practical theology and cultural philosophy, demonstrating the religious nature of all human actions and institutions. In The Mission of God, Joe Boot examines the historic biblical perspective on everyday cultural matters, demonstrating the abiding validity and authority of the whole word of God for every area of life. He writes in the introduction, "What is the calling of Gods 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 be the relationship between church and state? 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 and return to a robust biblical faith in the lordship of Christ for every area of life. Author Biography Rev.

Review "This book is an intellectual masterpiece; it is first rate scholarship - a theological and historical gem... It is the theological apologetic to act out Gods truth in every sphere of life in 21st century Britain and beyond...This book is changing lives." -From the Foreword: Andrea Williams, CEO, Christian Concern and Christian Legal Centre, London "Bold, provocative and illuminating...a potential game changer for modern societies." -Jonathan Burnside, Professor of Biblical Law at the University of Bristol "The Mission of God stands tall as a tour de force of historic Christian orthodoxy.... Boot makes his case with coherence, clarity and conviction." -Greg Downes, Theologian and Missioner, St Michael le Belfrey, York "A hard-hitting tour de force which will no doubt inspire, encourage and provoke ... Recommended." -Dr Daniel Strange, Academic Vice Principal and Tutor in Culture, Religion and Public Theology, Oak Hill College, London, U.K. "As comprehensive an overview of the churchs mission in the 21st century as anything you will find presently available ... a great achievement." -Dr Peter Jones (Ph.D), Scholar in Residence, Westminster Theological Seminary, California "A work of theology that can be exegetically profound, philosophically rigorous, historically aware, culturally illuminating, pastorally wise with a serious love for the church and the lost is an extremely rare feat.... This book is a must read." -Dr Thaddeus Williams (Ph.D). Assistant Professor of Theology, Biola University, U.S.A. "The most comprehensive and cogent argument for the perpetuity of Gods moral law as it relates to civil legislation written in 40 years...A breath of fresh air amid both the hermeneutical nihilism and pietistic retreatism in the modern church... An intellectual force to be reckoned with." -Dr P. Andrew Sandlin (S.T.D) President, Center for Cultural Leadership, California "Dr Joe Boot is one of the top Christian apologists writing and speaking today ... this book is an intellectual tour de force ... Impressive in both breadth and scope." -Dr Gabriel Fluhrer, Visiting Professor of Philosophy and Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary Global Campus, U.S.A. "I could not put it down ... this book is destined to be a classic." -Rev. Dr Bishop Joshua HK Banda (Ph.D), President, Southern Africa Region of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Africa Long Description This is a work of practical theology and cultural philosophy, demonstrating the religious nature of all human actions and institutions.
