The Problem Of Following Jesus

The Problem of Following Jesus by James Gordon Gilkey is a thought-provoking book that explores the challenges and difficulties of living a life of faith and following Jesus.

Gilkey examines various aspects of the Christian faith, including the nature of God, the role of prayer, the meaning of suffering, and the importance of community. He also explores the ways in which modern society often conflicts with the values of the Gospel, and how Christians can navigate these challenges while remaining true to their beliefs.Throughout the book, Gilkey draws on his own experiences as a minister and theologian, as well as insights from other religious thinkers and scholars. He writes in a clear and accessible style, making complex theological concepts accessible to readers of all backgrounds.Overall, The Problem of Following Jesus is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that challenges readers to reconsider their own beliefs and values, and to strive for a deeper understanding of what it means to follow Jesus in today's world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
