| Summary: | A number of different themes from the OT have been utilized in standard missiological literature to establish God's concern for humanity.

This theme is traced throughout Genesis in order to underline that a comprehensive vision of the mission of the people of God in a fallen world should include material, spiritual, and character formation dimensions. |
