Neuware - Is discipleship about personal sanctification or social reform Believers are divided on a question central to Christian identity: what does it mean to follow Jesus For centuries, imitating Christ meant the pursuit of holiness, conforming the self to Jesus through self-sacrifice in order to join him in eternal life. But some Christians today consider this model to be self-centered. Instead, they say, true disciples ought to imitate Jesus in confronting corrupt social systems on behalf of the oppressed.In Imitating Christ, esteemed New Testament scholar Luke Timothy Johnson seeks the origin of this fissure. Surveying the New Testament, medieval mysticism, modern theology, and more, Johnson shows how twentieth-century social-gospel and liberation theologies created a new model of discipleship.

Pastors and interested lay readers alike will rediscover a rich heritage in these pages.Catholic Media Association (CMA) Book Award Spirituality Contemporary Third Place (2025).…
