The Missionary Vision of the Bible treats the foundational plot of the Bible: the story of God's love for the world and the mission of his people to live out and proclaim this love. The emphasis is on the coherence of this biblical message from the beginning to the end.

Over these last years, the integral mission movement has flourished admirably, in Latin America and around the world — especially in the Majority World. Testimonies of its proliferation are the Micah Network and Red del Camino para la Misión Integral en América Latina (The Way Network for Integral Mission in Latin America), two organisations I have had the honour of directing. Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done to get the majority of local churches around the world to commit to transforming the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. However, we can only praise God for the progress we have seen in the practice of integral mission. We will be satisfied if this publication contributes to extending and deepening that practice even more.
