Author Description

The New Testament tells the story of God's sending of his Son, Jesus of Nazareth, who launches the final offensive of a liberation movement we are each recruited to join. This volume of Guerrilla Bible Studies: Basic Training for the Jesus Movement, follows volume 1, Surprising Encounters with God, and volume 2, God's Radical Recruiting-the third in a series of four sequels to Guerrilla Gospel: Reading the Bible for Liberation in the Power of the Spirit. In this collection you will find practical guidelines for facilitating liberating Bible studies, including a new sample study on Philippians 4:4-9. These thirteen Bibl studies have been tried-and-tested in jails, rural communities in the global South, frontline North American and European missional settings and in graduate-level theology schools. Each study focuses on one of Jesus' core teachings for enlistees, who respond to his call to participate in his liberation movement. Each study is laid out for easy use by Bible study facilitators, including questions, suggestions for guiding the study, explanations, background information about the text, and invitations and calls to action for the participants.
