Can We Still Follow Jesus? (Classic Reprint): A Study of the Teaching of Jesus in Its Modern Applications - Softcover
Synopsis
Following Jesus Today asks what Jesus really taught about morality, faith, and how to live as a follower today.
This thoughtful investigation examines how Christian ethics stay tied to religion while shaping life, duty, and community. It surveys competing views on the Kingdom of God, the role of forgiveness, and how Jesus’ teachings challenge both ancient and modern notions of virtue. The aim is to understand what it means to follow Jesus in a world that often echoes but also questions his message.
Through careful analysis of biblical language and historical context, the book argues that Christian morality goes beyond personal piety to demand self-giving love, humility, and sacrifice. It contrasts Christian virtues with pagan ideals, highlights the power of endurance under persecution, and asks how forgiveness can transform personal and social life. It also addresses debates about asceticism, renunciation, and what counts as true discipleship in everyday settings.
- Explores how Christianity links faith, duty, and love in moral life.
- Examines the Kingdom of God as a central focus of Jesus’ teaching.
- Considers martyrdom, courage, and the unity of belief and action.
- Discusses what following Jesus means for relationships, community, and personal conduct today.
Ideal for readers seeking a clear, accessible discussion of how Jesus’ message translates into modern ethics and daily discipleship.
