“This is the mission of God: to restore the creation and the life of humanity from the ravages of sin.[45] The church’s function in this story is to participate in God’s mission; we are to be caught up in God’s own work of restoration and healing. This defines the identity and role of the church.”
Michael W. Goheen, A Light to the Nations: The Missional Church and the Biblical Story

“Richard Tarnas (quien de hecho no profesa la fe en Cristo), en su explicación de la cosmovisión occidental, observa que la iglesia limitó su comprensión de la fe cristiana y la adaptó a la cosmovisión humanista. A partir del siglo XVIII, la fe cristiana «se concentró exclusivamente en los asuntos espirituales internos del individuo»: «La antigua creencia cristiana de que la Caída y la Redención conciernen no solo al hombre sino al cosmos entero —doctrina que ya empezó a debilitarse después de la Reforma— ahora desaparecía por completo: el proceso de la salvación, si en efecto tenía algo de sentido, concernía únicamente a la relación personal entre Dios y el hombre».31 En consecuencia, la esfera de alcance del evangelio se restringió hasta abarcar solamente una relación personal entre Dios y el individuo humano.”
Michael W. Goheen, Una Luz a las Naciones: La iglesia misional y el relato bíblcio (Colección Ministerio y Teología Misional nº 1)

“The biblical story is not to be understood simply as a local tale about a certain ethnic group or religion. It begins with the creation of all things and ends with the renewal of all things.”
Michael W. Goheen, A Light to the Nations: The Missional Church and the Biblical Story
