A good little work with many excellent reflections about many books of the New Testament. Some of his eschatological discussion was a bit inconsistent. Overall, the work does well at encouraging active discipleship.

Written in a devotional rather than scholarly style, Following Jesus fosters a deeper appreciation for the life of discipleship. Only twelve short chapters (originally sermons) and 114 pages in length, it served very nicely as my daily devotional guide for a couple of weeks earlier this year. Clearly written, scripturally based and packed with tasty morsels of spiritual insight, Wright's little book is well worth savoring. ( )

N.T. Wright is already a renowned scholar, so it's hard to say much without echoing the thoughts of others. The direction this books takes focuses on who the Jesus of the Bible really is. It's common for anyone to claim to follow Christ, but not know more than what is taught to them from the pulpit.

In this book, Wright examines Jesus through a variety of biblical texts to find who he really is. ( )

This is an excellent short collection of sermons by N.T. Wright loosely arranged around the theme of discipleship. The first half of them are from a Lenten series, while the latter half are taken from various services. These are good sermons, classic N.T. Wright; the sermon on temptation is excellent. ( )

following jesus seeks to show the message of jesus for his people: discipleship. he takes the reader through six different new testament books and explains how each has a message encouraging christians to follow christ in discipleship. he then looks a six different aspects of the christian life and how they relate to discipleship. i would recommend this book to anyone seeking an introduction to true biblical discipleship. recommended.
