Book Overview

Progressive Christian Discipleship is a book written by Newton N. Riddell that explores the concept of Christian discipleship from a progressive perspective. The author argues that progressive Christianity offers a more inclusive and compassionate approach to following Jesus, one that emphasizes social justice, environmental stewardship, and the inherent worth and dignity of all people.The book is divided into three sections. The first section provides an overview of progressive Christianity and its key tenets, including a focus on social justice, a commitment to interfaith dialogue, and a rejection of literalism and dogmatism. The second section explores the practical implications of progressive discipleship, including how to live out one's faith in the world and how to engage in meaningful social action. The final section offers a vision for the future of progressive Christianity, including the potential for a more diverse and inclusive church.Throughout the book, Riddell draws on his own experiences as a progressive Christian and offers insights and reflections on how to live a more authentic and compassionate life as a disciple of Jesus. He also includes quotes and anecdotes from other progressive Christians, as well as biblical passages and theological reflections.Overall, Progressive Christian Discipleship is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that challenges readers to rethink their understanding of Christian discipleship and to embrace a more progressive and inclusive approach to following Jesus.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Vital Christianity A Textbook on God, Man, Cosmology, Faith-Power and Spiritual Science, by Newton N.
