The Kingdom Without Frontiers: The Witness of the Bible to the Missionary Purpose of God

"The Kingdom Without Frontiers: The Witness of the Bible to the Missionary Purpose of God" is an insightful exploration of the scriptural foundations for the universal reach of the Christian faith. Hugh Martin provides a thorough examination of the Bible to demonstrate that the missionary impulse is not a late addition to the faith, but rather the central theme of the divine narrative. By tracing the development of God's purpose from the Old Testament through the New Testament, the work illustrates a consistent movement toward a kingdom that knows no national or cultural boundaries.

Martin analyzes the teachings of the prophets, the life of Jesus, and the activities of the early church to show how the biblical witness demands a global perspective. The book argues that the character of God, as revealed in scripture, is inherently focused on the redemption of all humanity. This study offers a compelling theological framework for understanding the church's role in the world, emphasizing that the message of the Bible is fundamentally missionary in nature. "The Kingdom Without Frontiers" remains an essential text for those seeking to understand the biblical mandate for outreach and the expansive vision of a faith intended for all people.
