Radical Disciple: The Influence and Significance of John J. Vincent: Festschrift and Testament

In Radical Disciple readers will be introduced to John Vincent’s work by way of those who knew him best: students, friends, and colleagues. Each tells a story or offers a kind of testament, "warts and all," as John would put it. In John Vincent's thinking, this is a "serious kind of book"—it relays the facts without missing "the many-splendored thing.” So, along with the facts, readers will find the dramatic, amusing, serious, and anecdotal. Most importantly, they will find a living testament to John Vincent's vision of radical urban theology and discipleship.
