To Empower As Jesus Did: Acquiring Spiritual Power Through Apprenticeship (Toronto Studies in Theology)

by Aaron Milavec

Book Overview

Defending the thesis that the concrete reality of religious life is best understood as a learned activity, this text illustrates this thesis through an interpretation of Jesus which pictures him as a master apprenticing his disciples. The book also includes analyses of individual growth in community, the manner in which personal transformations can occur, and the role of scripture, prayer, and ritual in promoting religious life.
