Synopsis "God Draws Near: Rethinking the Biblical Theology of Mission"

In God Draws Near, Old Testament expert and missiologist Collin Cornell challenges conventional thinking about the theology of mission. The prevailing paradigm has been of a single grand story encompassing creation, fall, and redemption. The understanding of God's mission that follows is that of rescue or repair. In the first part of the book, Cornell interacts with and critiques this line of thinking, pointing out how it influences our interpretation of the canon of Scripture, our view of Israel, and even how we view Christ and his incarnation. These problems have consequences for mission practice.Cornell then offers a new model for the biblical theology of mission, recentering it on God's purpose to draw near to creatures out of love and delight. The Song of Songs provides a key inspiration. Cornell argues that rather than being linear, the Bible is geometric, flowing outward from God's presence in the tabernacle in the Old Testament and in Christ in the New. This perspective honors God's relationship with Israel and keeps Christ at the center of God's work in the world.God Draws Near will be of use to students, pastors, mission workers and educators, and interested lay readers. Even those who disagree with Cornell's approach and conclusions will need to grapple with his critiques and proposals.
