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.
