Resources for Studying Worldview, Mission & the Biblical Story
A New Book by Michael Goheen
A Light to the Nations
“The contemporary discussion of the ‘missional church’ has rapidly expanded and generated a confusing range of published treatments. Here is a book, however, that stands out from the crowd and merits careful attention. Michael Goheen’s "A Light to the Nations" is a much-needed and well-crafted basic text for the biblical study of the missional church. . . . Certainly it will become a staple of college and seminary syllabi dealing with the church and its mission.” –Darrell L. Guder, Henry Winters Luce Professor of Missional and Ecumenical Theology, Princeton Theological Seminary.

I am delighted to see solid scholarship made easily accessible in this splendid fashion.” —N. T. Wright, Research Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity, University of St. Andrews
