Responding to Paul's invitation "follow me as I follow Christ," Reeves discovers an ancient spiritual path in the letters of Paul.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>An engaging discussion of Christian living as expounded in Paul's letters.</p>--Ray Van Neste, Preaching, November/December 2012<br><br><p>In the end, the book succeeds in articulating what it would mean for us, as Christ followers in the twenty-first century, to live out Paul's theology in a robust and compelling way with its myriad of contemporary examples. . . . Anyone looking for a depiction of what following Paul would practically look like in our current world will find this book worth his or her time.</p>--Benjamin J. Burkholder, Journal of Spiritual Formation and Soul Care, Fall 2012<br><br><p>Rodney Reeves' new book, <em>Spirituality According to Paul: Imitating the Apostle of Christ</em>, is one of the most courageous sketches of Paul's view of the Christian life I've seen. I think he takes Paul at his word and then turns Paul's words on us so we can see ourselves in the mirror of Paul's radical (ludicrous) vision. . . . Pastors, buy this book and meditate your way through it. You will rise up and call me blessed if you do</p>--Scot McKnight, Jesus Creed, December 14, 2011, www.patheos.com/blogs/jesuscreed<br><br><p>The book is intended for all who are interested in Paul and who are developing a basic understanding of who he is, and, in this regard, Reeves has accomplished his purpose. It is recommended for scholars, pastors, students, and the untrained who are interested in this area and who desire a current scholarly yet readable and understandable approach that emphasizes the importance of demonstrating the gospel in every situation.</p>--James M. Howard, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, 55(3)<br><br><p>This accessible book is appropriate not only for classroom use but also for church contexts.</p>--Matthew P. O'Reilly, Religious Studies Review, Volume 39, Number 4, December 2013<br><br><p>This is not a book with simple modern steps to achieve a better spirituality, but a valuable engagement with ancient Christian spirituality as exemplified by Paul's teaching and life focused on Christ's crucifixion, burial and resurrection.</p>--Robert S. Dutch, Journal for the Study of the New Testament, 35(5)<br>
