More About This Title On Being a Disciple of the Crucified Nazarene

English

In this book Ernst Käsemann — celebrated initiator of the twentieth-century “New Quest of the Historical Jesus” — examines the problem of the relation between discipleship and faith. / Käsemann first tackles specific passages in the Synoptic Gospels dealing with the summons to discipleship. He makes clear the relevance of the biblical message to human existence even today. In the second half he explores how themes relating to specific contemporary problems fulfill that message. / Here is a theologian who is radically and passionately committed to discipleship of the crucified Jesus of Nazareth — and who is not afraid to share that commitment.

English

Ernst Käsemann (1906–1998) taught New Testament at the University of Mainz, the University of Göttingen, and the University of Tübingen. He is the author of many books on the New Testament and in 1985 was awarded the Sexauer Gemeinde Prize for Theology.

Scot McKnight
— Jesus Creed
"Käsemann's theology is about breaking free from the idols of his age, in fact of any age, and this collection of essays will put before readers a window into Käsemann's brilliant explorations of how to live as a disciple of Jesus in a world gone mad at times, in a world where we are called to resist, in a world where we are called to follow The Crucified One."
