Book Review: Paul and the Hope of Inheriting the World

Barth’s dynamic Trinitarianism and Barth’s treatment of Christian vocation and Christian witness. He offers an account of missio Dei which rejects both these gaps, thus rendering the divine economy essential to the divine being and the act of mission essential to the being of the church. This account is Trinitarian not just rhetorically, but also fundamentally and thoroughly. This is a deeply rich but also deeply complex work, and the text is correspondingly dense and occasionally difficult. The reader is left with a desire for Flett to work out more clearly the concrete practical implications of his theological vision, and perhaps also to risk indicating where he would like to move beyond Barth in his constructive work. Nevertheless, the core message of the book remains of profound importance, not only for missiologists and theologians, but also for any who would advance impressive-sounding claims or slogans about church and mission. Flett invites us in a compelling way to reconsider the central place of mission in the church and in theology, and to do so with careful attention to its foundations, its shape, and its significance.
