The latest book in the Understanding Jesus Today series deals with
the role of discipleship in Christianity. James Dunn explores the
original meaning of discipleship in the early church and then
discusses what discipleship should mean for Christians today. The
evidence in the Gospels regarding the requirements of discipleship,
including the beliefs and daily character of the life of a
disciple, are explored and a firm basis upon which a tradition of
discipleship can be defined is found. Important questions addressed
are: to whom was Jesus's call to discipleship primarily directed;
what were the characteristics of the community of disciples that
formed around Jesus in His lifetime and how has the character of
that community, which has become the Christian Church, changed over
time; how does modern discipleship measure up against discipleship
in the early Church? The book is based on the best of current
scholarship but is written at a popular level.
