The Jesus Way
A Conversation on the Ways That Jesus Is the Way
Book • 2007
In 'The Jesus Way', Eugene Peterson delves into the meaning of Jesus' statement 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me' (John 14:6).
Peterson argues that the 'Jesus way' is not a one-time transaction but a pathway to follow in a lifelong journey toward salvation.
He critiques the reduction of Jesus' way to merely a route to heaven and instead emphasizes it as a way of life that involves obedience and a critique of contemporary Christian culture's focus on consumerism, celebrity, and charisma.
The book also explores Jesus' temptations in the wilderness and their implications for how Christians should live and accomplish their mission.
