The Jesus Way: A Conversation on the Ways That Jesus Is the Way
For For readers who want to think hard about whether Christian means match Christian ends, in the church and in leadership; best read after Christ Plays.
The third volume of Peterson's five-volume spiritual theology, published by Eerdmans in 2007, after Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places and Eat This Book. Its subject is that the way Jesus does things is inseparable from what he does: the church cannot use the world's methods of power and efficiency for the ends of the kingdom. The first part follows the ways of Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah and Isaiah as the way Jesus fulfils; the second sets beside Jesus the alternatives of his own day, the ways of Herod, Caiaphas and Josephus. It is the most pointed of the five in what it says about the contemporary church.
