Christian discipleship through the lens of an overturned order

Donald B. Kraybill frames Christian discipleship around Jesus’ challenge to established expectations and the meaning of God’s reign on earth. The book connects the setting of first-century Palestine with questions about following a Christ associated in the description with solidarity with the poor, forgiveness of enemies, and a rejection of victory and power. Its anniversary edition presents these ideas as a call to consider how the kingdom of God might shape life in the present. A downloadable study guide is also noted in the publisher’s description.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Christians exploring radical discipleship and the meaning of God’s kingdom
  • Readers interested in Mennonite perspectives on Jesus and Christian practice
  • Groups seeking a Christian book accompanied by a study guide

Book overview

The Upside-Down Kingdom calls readers to imagine and embody the reign of God on earth as it is in heaven. Since its publication in 1978, The Upside-Down Kingdom won the National Religious Book Award and has become the most trusted resource on radical Christian discipleship. In this completely updated anniversary edition, author Donald B. Kraybill asks: What does it mean to follow the Christ who traded victory and power for hanging out with the poor and forgiving his enemies? How did a man in first-century Palestine threaten the established order, and what does that mean for us today? Jesus turned expectations upside down. The kingdom of God is still full of surprises. Are you ready?
