The Witness of God: The Trinity Missio Dei Karl Barth and the Nature of Christian Community

About this book

A constructive revision of trinitarian missio Dei theology John Fletts Witness of God argues that the neglect of mission as a theological locus has harmful consequences for understanding both the nature of Gods connection with the world and the corresponding nature of the Christian community. Flett maintains that mission/witness is an integral part of Gods being not a secondary characteristic and contends that the church -- if we truly seek to reflect the fullness of Gods being -- must reflect this truth by becoming a missionary community.
