Called into the Mission of God

The book will be helpful to those theologians scholars teachers and students grappling with the message of Paul in his own time and in ours.</p><p><i>Called into the Mission of God</i> represents an increasing commitment on the part of Fortress Press to support the wide dissemination of the best theological and biblical writing by the best scholars from the Global South.</p>
