Training of the Twelve

Biography  by 
A.B. Bruce

Pulling from the harmony of the four Gospels, Bruce presents a discourse on how Jesus trained his twelve disciples. The book is a peek into how Jesus instructed the disciples and apply those methods today; it leaves that decision on the reader rather than being a how-to book on leadership and discipleship. Bruce was a leading scholar for the Christian faith in the 19th century, his understanding of politics and culture, and his sentence structure marked by geographical, historical and theological knowledge makes this work arguably one of the best books written on how Jesus equipped his disciples to preach the gospel worldwide. The book grants rare access into the life of the Lord, conserving and preserving his methods. Absorbing commentary following Jesus’s ministry in a chronological order, selected passages from the bible and scriptural references makes it a valuable reference book for Christians desiring to be leaders and disciples.
