However <i>Reading Hebrews Missiologically</i> tries to fill that gap and focuses on the theology of mission in the book of Hebrews and fleshes out the unique contribution it has to the discussion of a New Testament theology of mission. The twelve contributors—from various theological geographical and missiological contexts—explore the missionary motive the missionary message and the missionary method of the Epistle to the Hebrews.</span><span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span> </span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span>All Scripture can be read missiologically and the letter to the Hebrews with its emphasis on the supremacy of Christ is no exception. </span><span>We pray that this book will inspire fresh approaches to practical mission in the world today.</span></p>
