One of this generation's foremost Old Testament scholars, Dr. Daniel Carroll Rodas, led this Bible study for Anglican leaders, from three different countries in four different time zones, on behalf of the Matthew 25 Initiative. This study aims to provide participants with a deep understanding of a biblical vision for justice and mercy. The question of biblical ethics is unpacked with a specific emphasis on “how are the people of God to engage society? how does theology interact with social structures from a biblical perspective?"
The core mission outlined in Genesis centers on God's people being an active blessing to all peoples, as elucidated in the call of Abram in Genesis 12:1–3.
- Exploration of Abram's geographical movement and the significance and particularity of his choice.
- Emphasis on the mission of God's people as relentless instruments of blessing, that has physical and spiritual dimensions.
- Focus on the significance of words, where God creates a nation rather than choosing one. Mission is the very reason for the existence of God's people.
- Highlighting the pilgrim–migrant identity of all of God’s people, ours as well.
