Discipleship is a subject that lies at the heart of Christian thought, life, and ministry. For centuries it has been a way of thinking and speaking about the nature of the Christian life. But what is actually meant by the notion of "Christian discipleship"? In Patterns of Discipleship in the New Testament thirteen first-class scholars examine what the New Testament writings say about the subject of discipleship, highlight the features of both unity and diversity that appear throughout the New Testament, and suggest, in a very readable style, how Christian discipleship can be expressed today in ways that honor both the oneness of the gospel and a legitimate variety of lifestyles.
