Practical, scriptural and contemporary, Text and Task is a series
of essays on Scripture and mission. It aims to show the
significance of reading the biblical text appropriately and with
faithful engagement for our theology and missiology. A team of
biblical scholars suggests ways forward in areas such as the
implicit missional narrative of David and Goliath, the story of
Solomon and his Temple-building, the genre of lament, the explicit
gracious message of the prophet Isaiah, Paul's understanding of
divine call and gospel and the place of mission as a hermeneutic
for reading the Bible. Theological chapters engage the issues of
the Trinity and the unevangelized, the missional dimensions of
Barth's view of election, the gospel's loss of plausibility in the
modern West, the place of preaching in mission and the idea of
belonging to a church community before one believes the gospel.
Drawing together scholars from the fields of biblical studies,
theology, sociology and homiletics, Text and Task relates
critically engaged textual reading to contemporary ongoing
Christian life, thought and mission.
