About this title

Synopsis

Being a Disciple Community: Loving God and Neighbor uses the teachings of Luke 10:25-42—“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself,” the parable of the Good Samaritan, and the story of Jesus at the home of Mary and Martha—as a pattern for the life of the church community. In conversation with the Good Samaritan and Mary, eight “loving God and neighbor” practices of the church are explored: community, worship, teaching, prayer, missions, witness, care, and leadership.

Keith Stillwell received his master of divinity from The Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville in 1988 and his doctor of ministry from the Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond, Virginia, in 2000. He is the Together for Hope regional vice president for Appalachia (hope.cbf.net/appalachia).
