Following Jesus: What the New Testament Teaches Us

Becoming a disciple of Christ was no easy task in the time of Jesus and it continues to be the ultimate challenge.

It is about combining one's head and heart to not only become His student in an intellectual sense but also "conforming" to His person, imitating His sacrificial love and, by means of faith and baptism, actually taking on His identity as the Son of God.

This book from renowned Catholic biblical scholar Daniel J. Harrington is divided into four parts, each of which deals with six key New Testament passages relating to the theme of following Jesus.

Part One: Hearing Jesus' Call in the Synoptic Gospels

Part Two: Growing in Appreciation of Jesus in John's Gospel

Part Three: Paul as a Disciple of Jesus

Part Four: Other Ways of Being a Disciple of Jesus
