Discipleship - that being a Christian is about learning and
discovering, acting and responding, choosing and collaborating - is
both a primordial Christian theme and a re-discovery of the
mid-twentieth century. But how does one discover its meaning? For
some it means programmes - like turning out a product, ignoring the
individuality of each's path. Others emphasize the group,
forgetting that every community's richness is valuing its members'
diversity. Is discipleship the way of the loner and
community-ignoring? But social beings learn discipleship in
communities. Community is not simply the club of like-minded
individuals but should model a new way of being. To uncover what
discipleship means, we must read the New Testament with the
awareness that how we see the world of the early Jesus followers is
radically different from the inherited theological underpinning of
many churches. Discipleship and Society in the Early Churches takes
our historical awareness seriously, and examines what biblical,
historical, and archaeological research can tell us about
discipleship today.
