Wright C H J BST - Bible Speaks Today commentary series - Ezekiel
IVP 2001 0851115489 / 9780851115481 Paperback
[Number in stock: 2]
The land was awash with false gods and groaning under all kinds of social evil. The inevitable happened; God's horrific judgment on his people started to unfold. A young Ezekiel, carried off to exile in Babylon, was commissioned by the Lord to warn of a more devastating and unthinkable judgment.
When the most traumatic event in Israel's whole biblical history did happen - the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple - Ezekiel's ministry took a new turn as the bulk of the displaced population joined the existing exiles. He struggled to bring some kind of meaning, comfort and hope to a shattered, decimated and totally demoralised rump of God's people, Israel.
Chris Wright vividly explores Ezekiel's varied and dramatic mission at several levels: his unwilting preparation for the task; the social and political background to his work; the character of his ministry as watchman, evangelist and pastor; and the wider mission context of Ezekiel's vision - the knowledge of the Lord in Israel and amongst the nations.
Chris Wright is the International Ministry Director of the Langham Partnership International, based in London, and formerly Principal of All Nations Christian College. He is the author of many books, including biblical commentaries.

Wright C J H The Mission Of God
IVP/Apollos 2006 1844741524 / 9781844741526 Hardcover
[Number in stock: 2]
Most Christians would agree that the Bible provides a basis for mission. Chris Wright believes that there is actually a missional basis for the whole Bible - it is generated by, and is all about, God's mission.
In order to understand the Bible, we need an interpretative perspective that is in tune with this great missional theme. We need to see the 'big picture' of God's mission and how all parts of Scripture fit into its grand narrative.
In this comprehensive and accessible study, Chris Wright begins with the Old Testament understanding of who God is, what he has called his people to be and to do, and where the nations belong within God's mission. These themes are followed into the New Testament. Throughout, Wright emphasizes that biblically-defined mission is intrinsically holistic. God's mission is to redeem his whole creation from all that sin and evil have inflicted upon it, and the mission of God's people must reflect the breadth of God's righteous and saving love for all he has made.
Christopher J. H. Wright is International Ministries Director of the Langham Partnership International. He was formerly Principal of All Nations Christian College and taught at Union Biblical Seminary, Pune, India. His books include Old Testament Ethics for the People of God and The Message of Ezekiel (both IVP), the New International Biblical Commentary on Deuteronomy (Paternoster) and Knowing Jesus through the Old Testament (Monarch).
