Imitating God in Christ: recapturing a biblical pattern

Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

Jason Hood takes us on a tour of what the Bible has to say about imitating Jesus. He draws our attention to what Paul told the Corinthians he taught "everywhere in every church." And he looks at the theme in historical and contemporary perspective. The result is the recovery of a biblical pattern, and a challenge and corrective to embracing moralism on one side and fearing it on the other. --
