Conclusion
The purpose of this discussion was to examine the Influence of the Bible on Christian mission. The investigation found that the bible serves as the foundation or blue print for the Christian faith and as such it is essential to spreading the gospel of Christ. Missionaries have used the bible and its teachings to evangelize for centuries. The research also suggests that translated bibles and bible recordings have allowed missionaries more effectively witness to people throughout the world. The research also focused on how the Bible has won some countries over to Christ and its influence in some countries. In countries such as Tanzania, the bible and its teachings has won many converts. In places such as China, the spread of Christianity...

Now, McDermott says, Americans are returning to their religious roots, and while there are atonements that must be made, America is refocusing on its spiritual mission, its evangelical mission (p. 16). This is in no small part due to the efforts of Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, whose use of the Bible as a tool to awaken the American consciousness is well noted (p.16). So it is not just
