'The Training of the Twelve' (by A. B. Bruce( provides a classic
study of Jesus' teaching and training of his disciples. Using a
loose "harmony of the Gospels" approach, Bruce pulls from all four
gospel narratives to show how Jesus discipled His disciples. The
book's greatest strength is that it is not as a how-to book on
discipleship or a 12-step program for leadership development.
Instead, Bruce exegetes the passages showing what Jesus was doing
with his disciples and leaves contemporary application to the
reader. Bruce's book, which was first published in 1871, is a
valuable study for any Christian who serves in any form of
leadership capacity or who seeks to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.
Its 31 chapters provide an absorbing commentary on selected
passages of the four Gospels, following Jesus ministry and teaching
among his disciples in chronological order. Although the writing
style may take a bit of getting used to for modern readers, the
result is well worth the effort. The table of Scripture references
discussed in the book also makes it a useful reference work-after
it has been read from cover to cover. Theologically sound and
biblically true, this book comes highly recommended to anyone
desiring to obey Jesus's command to make disciples.
