Visit Covenant Theological Seminary

This is the Way is the first book in a three-part series examining what a Biblical Covenant Way of Life looks like based on the Bible and the cultural context the scripture was written in. It challenges readers to reconsider what they have accepted as truth, tradition, and Christianity and redefine their life mission based on a better contextual interpretation of the complete lens of scripture and Jesus’ message to live in His kingdom not the kingdoms of the world. This is the way will be released on December 29, 2021 to line up with the Disney release of “The Book of Bobba Fett.” The title, this is the way is a wordplay borrowed from the Star Wars Mandalorian series and applied to our current culture of western Christianity.
