Geoffrey Harris 
Mission in the Gospels [PDF ebook] 

Mission in the Gospels considers the gospels through a twin lens: first, the nature of Jesus’ own mission (as understood by the evangelists), and secondly, the desire of the gospel writers and their churches to gain some understanding of their own mission by interpreting Jesus’ attitudes and actions (especially with regard to the Gentiles). The principles for mission that arise out of this investigation shed a good deal of new light on the gospels and the motives for their writing and on their theological insights.
