Book excerpt: This project evolved from the question, "What should be taught, or 'passed on,' in a discipleship training program?" The New Testament Epistles offer a unique model of discipleship for the church as well as content for discipleship training. A study of the evolution of discipleship from the Gospels to the context of the church supports this hypothesis. The project develops a paradigm from the Epistles, which it then implements and evaluates for its effectiveness. The Pre-test/Post-test design demonstrated that the program is effective.
