Book details

Book description

Book three of Eugene Peterson's landmark SPIRITUAL THEOLOGY series. Foundational reading for the Twenty-First Century Church. Continuing Peterson's major evaluation of contemporary Christian spirituality, THE JESUS WAY asks what it means to authentically follow Christ in the modern world. As with other books in the series, THE JESUS WAY is written for both academic and serious lay audiences. Challenging but rewarding, it combines first-rate scholarship with illustrations drawn from raw human experience. Eugene Peterson is a pastor, author, scholar and poet. He grew up in Montana and earned his B. A. in philosophy from Seattle Pacific University, his S. T.B. from New York Theological Seminary, and his M. A. in Semitic languages from Johns Hopkins University. He served as a pastor for 29 years and then became Professor Emeritus of Spiritual Theology at Regent College in Vancouver, retiring in 2006. Eugene Peterson is perhaps best known for his book THE MESSAGE: THE BIBLE IN CONTEMPORARY LANGUAGE and is also known for his involvement in the Renovare spiritual formation movement. The books in his spiritual theology series, including THE JESUS WAY and PRACTISE RESURRECTION, are widely acclaimed. Now retired from full-time teaching, Eugene and his wife Jan live in the Big Sky Country of rural Montana.
