The central section of the book concentrates onreading the narratives of the Galilean ministry of Jesus within their first centurycontext, then exploring Paul's mission in the setting of the urban and imperial worldof Rome, before offering reflection on the Apocalypse in the changed world followingthe destruction of Jerusalem. Smith then concludes his treatise facing the 'twentyfirst-century questions,' seeking to build a hermeneutical bridge to our globalizedworld. As a whole, this major book on Christian mission aims to contribute toward anunderstanding of how the dynamic message of Christ might be liberated to be heardas genuinely good news today, in the process potentially transforming Christianity,provided there is willingness to face opposition from a world resistant to the exposure of its injustices.
