Following Jesus : Biblical Reflections On Discipleship

This second edition of N. T. Wright’s popular Following Jesus – originally published in 1995 – includes a new preface by the author. In twelve exhilarating meditations Wright explores what it truly means to follow Jesus today.Wright first outlines the essential messages of six major New Testament books – Hebrews, Colossians, Matthew, John, Mark, and Revelation – looking in particular at their portrayal of Jesus and what he accomplished in his sacrificial death. In the second part of the book Wright takes six key New Testament themes – resurrection, rebirth, temptation, hell, heaven, and new life – and considers their significance for the lives of present-day disciples.
