The Jesus Way

The third book in Eugene Peterson??'s momentous five-volume conversation on spiritual theology, The Jesus Way considers the "way of the Lord" that became incarnate and complete in Jesus. Arguing that the way Jesus leads and the way we follow are symbiotic, Peterson challenges the ways of the contemporary American church, showing how they often obliterate what is unique in the Jesus way. This helpful study guide is designed to enable small groups in schools or churches ? or even individuals ? to delve deeper into the timely wisdom of The Jesus Way . Peterson's discussion is broken up here into eleven "sessions," each of which contains a summary, a list of key adjectives, quotations to consider, and questions for interaction, ending with a select prayer from one of several "traveling companions on the Jesus way.,"

Eugene H. Peterson is professor emeritus of spiritual theology at Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia Peter Santucci, a former student and teaching assistant of Peterson's, is pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Lebanon, Oregon
