Description

The Jesus Way is part of Eugene Peterson’s meaty “conversations” on spiritual theology

A way of sacrifice. A way of failure. A way on the margins. A way of holiness. In The Jesus Way Eugene Peterson shows how the ways of those who came before Christ: Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, and Isaiah revealed and prepared the “way of the Lord” that became incarnate and complete in Jesus. Further, Peterson calls into question common “ways” followed by the contemporary American church, showing in stark relief how what we have chosen to focus on consumerism, celebrity, charisma, and so forth obliterates what is unique in the Jesus way.

An inspiring book on the spirituality of following Christ.
Continuing Peterson’s major evaluation of contemporary Christian spirituality, The Jesus Way asks what it means to authentically follow Christ in the modern world. As with other books in the series, The Jesus Way is written for both academic and serious lay audiences. Challenging but rewarding, it combines first-rate scholarship with illustrations drawn from raw human experience.
