Greg Ogden examines what it means to be a disciple and how disciple-making can occur in the church context. In three major sections, the course considers the church’s missional mandate and some core theological challenges to carrying it out, biblical models of disciple making as seen in the ministries of Jesus and Paul, and the application of disciple-making models in the context of the local church.
