The Mission of God: Unlocking the Bible’s Grand Narrative

QUOTES

“It’s very odd to me that some Christians who would claim to be disciples of Jesus either never read or reject or have very negative attitudes towards the scriptures of Jesus – what he had as his Bible.”

“The Bible is conscious of areas where we can’t always agree and it gives us…licence to think and freedom to question and protest and lament.”
