One weakness in Italian evangelicalism is the lack of a “culture of discipleship” and attempts to import discipleship programs have failed because they do not consider the cultural, historical, and spiritual context of Italy. Leonardo reports the latest issue of IFED’s theological journal has six essays on discipleship all written from and for the Italian context. This issue asks the hard questions about discipleship in Christian life, in context of the local church, and with awareness of deeply impactful cultural obstacles to being a disciple and making disciples. Pray this will generate much interest among their readership.
