Being with Dr. Chris Wright in Osijek during his visit to our university was truly an inspiration for all of us. Over the course of three days, Dr. Wright spoke to students about Old Testament ethics and also gave a public lecture open to everyone interested. The lecture gathered a large number of pastors, theologians, lecturers from the city, students, and believers from across the region. The purpose of our dear guest Chris’s visit was, in fact, to engage in conversation with all of us—about God, the Bible, and mission.
“The whole Bible is a missionary book: its writings are a testimony to and a result of God’s action. In the Bible, we see the mission of God’s People in encounter with the world for the benefit of all creation. The Bible is a ‘drama’ that has God at its center, and its climax is in Jesus Christ! Mission is not just one of the topics, events, or tasks the Bible speaks about. Mission is what the Bible is about.” —Chris Wright in Osijek, June 10, 2025.
