Description
This volume, second in the series, features a set of devotional Bible studies highlighted by the teaching voice of Jesus, especially as now seen through the lens of the theologically rich Wesleyan-Holiness musical tradition of Christianity.
Roger J. Green, Professor Emeritus of Biblical and Theological Studies, Gordon College, and beloved scholar of the Salvation Army –
All readers will be in the good hands of two authors who bring three virtues. They write with clarity; they are scholars well versed in biblical and theological studies; and they are leaders in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition. They guide us through the seasons of the Christian year as we seek to be conformed to the image of Christ, the authentic spirituality to which our beloved Rabbi Jesus invites us.
Timothy J. Clarke, Senior Pastor, Columbus, Ohio, and Chair emeritus of the General Assembly and Ministries Council of the Church of God (And.) –
We are graciously invited to sit at the feet of Rabbi Jesus and learn there the central discipleship lessons he taught so long ago. This is a necessary book for those who want to really understand our Lord and, through his enabling Spirit, become an informed and inspired part of the Father’s mission in today’s troubled world.
Randy L. Maddox, Emeritus Professor of Wesleyan and Methodist Studies, Duke Divinity School –
This book provides rich and wisely-balanced sustenance for all who embrace the Christian life as a journey in discipleship, a journey toward an ever-closer resemblance to Jesus Christ. These weekly lessons are deeply grounded in Scripture, enlightened by central voices in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition, and shaped by the wisdom of the Christian year. Highly recommended!
Kevin Mannoia, former president of the National Association of Evangelicals, founder and Chair emeritus of the Wesleyan Holiness Connection –
Christ-likeness is the highest calling of life, one not achieved merely by doctrinal compliance. Our natures are transformed and life’s priorities realigned only as we walk humbly with Rabbi Jesus. Callen and Hoskins have provided a disciplined, historically informed, theologically wise, and spiritually sound rhythm for a full year’s walk with the Master. I love what they’ve done!
H. Ray Dunning, author of the acclaimed Grace, Faith, and Holiness: A Wesleyan Systematic Theology –
The authors have drawn on a plethora of resources to guide a Christian devotional journey. Using sometimes imaginative presentation of biblical, historical, and poetic materials, they elicit insightful responses to all phases of the Christian calendar. The significance of the formative events and periods of the Christian faith are skillfully highlighted to encourage contemporary and very personal encounters with divine revelation.
Andy Miller III, Vice President of Academic Affairs and Assistant Professor of Theology, Wesley Biblical Seminary –
Jesus’ words “I am the way…” could be translated “I am the journey.” When confronted with the grind of life in enemy-occupied territory, we need to know that our journeys find their epicenter and goal in Jesus. That’s exactly what A Year with Rabbi Jesus does for readers. By drawing meditations and prayers from Scripture, hymns, and church history, we receive a fuller sense of what our journey can be as we listen to and learn from Rabbi Jesus.
