Synopsis

York surveys the mission theme present throughout Scripture, which he sees as the lens of continuity that brings the Bible into focus. God’s plan has always been a redemptive blessing of the nations. York challenges believers to join the mission of God in His redemptive pursuit of the nations through the power of the Holy Spirit.

For those wondering what is the task of the church for the future, Missions in the Age of the Spirit has a powerful answer: “Let all who contemplate Christ’s mission be filled with the Holy Spirit, be prepared to the fullest extent possible, be confident of divine blessing, and then run to the battle. And run to win!”
