4th International Crossings Conference

The Gospel-Given Life: Discipleship Revisited What does it mean “to follow Jesus” today? That question is often answered in self-help therapeutic and moralistic tones, as though “to follow” means to “imitate Jesus,” as though he is a model of common sense behavior and sensibility, as though discipleship is rooted in the demands of law. But such a view of discipleship produces, at best, “anxious Christians” and, at worst, “presumptuous ones.” This conference revisits the theme of discipleship in order to recover both its biblical and gospel basis.
