Discipleship in the New Testament

Edited and with an Introduction by Fernando F. Segovia

This provocative volume focuses on discipleship in the New Testament, a concept broadly defined as "the self-understanding of the early Christian believers as believers and what such a way of life required, implied, and entailed." The contributors, all renowned experts in their respective fields, attend to differing New Testament traditions and writings as coherent literary and theological entities. The collective results represent a major reexamination of the shape and character of Christian discipleship according to the diverse New Testament points of view.

The contributors: Fernando F. Segovia, Werner H. Kelber, Richard A. Edwards, Charles H. Talbert, William S. Kurz, S.J., Robert A. Wild, S.J., Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza, Luke T. Johnson, and John H. Elliott.

FERNANDO F. SEGOVIA is Associate Professor of New Testament and Early Christian Literature at Vanderbilt Divinity School.
