RADICAL DISCIPLE
The influence and significance of John J Vincent.
Festschrift and Testament
In Radical Disciple readers will be introduced to John Vincent’s work by way of those who knew him best: students, friends, and colleagues. Each tells a story or offers a kind of testament, “warts and all? as John would put it.
In John Vincent’s thinking, this is a “serious kind of book”—it relays the facts without missing “the many-splendored thing.” So, along with the facts, readers will find the dramatic, amusing, serious, and anecdotal. Most importantly, they will find a living testament to John Vincent’s vision of radical urban theology and discipleship.
Edited by Ian K Duffield and Robert P. Hoch-Yidokodiltona
“Radical Disciple is a varied set of essays that is a more than just an homage to the creative, radical prophet of urban Christian presence who set up what is now the Urban Theology Union in the 1970s as a place where people can wrestle with what it means to follow Jesus in their context. The writers are people who’ve been inspired by John (and probably argued with him along the way) to engage similarly in making the kingdom of justice, hope and joy real in complex communities. Whether you want to know more of John’s approach, learn how others have embodied his methods, or apply his insights in your place, there’s plenty to dig into here.”
