God’s purpose‚ as Bauckham sees it‚ results in the kingdom of God or “the achievement of God’s purposes for good in the whole of God’s creation.” Bauckham is concerned with how one reads the Bible‚ “in a way that takes seriously its missionary direction.” This is essentially why we can call this hermeneutical
