The Biblical Foundations of Mission Missiology

The Biblical Foundations of Mission2 Aims and Objectives of this module To introduce the student to mission as a central theme of scripture as it relates to the present and coming kingdom of God. Jesus Christ is the “hinge of history”, the great commission is the culmination of Jesus’ teaching on the kingdom of God. Pentecost is the climactic event which creates the church and completes the Christ event. From Pentecost onwards the mission of the church has to be viewed eschatologically as the appearing of the kingdom at Jesus’ return marks the end of the church’s mission.
