The Following of Jesus Christ Discipleship is the study of theology, having a religion, and being a follower of Christ. Dietrich Bonhoeffer had many themes and studies pertaining to discipleship.

To begin teaching Biblical Faith a teacher must first understand how as an individual they define what the Bible is to them. It is in this definition that as educators our beliefs and bias are acknowledged. The Bible, for me, is a story of the evolution of God’s relationship with mankind as told in two books.
