Three leading Christian educators offer a survey of faith formation from various perspectives: biblical, theological, pastoral, practical, and global. They present a biblical theology of faith formation for individual and congregational life and show how faith can be formed through the life and mission of the local church through practices such as communal worship, Bible study, and mission. They also explore the faces of faith formation in multicultural and global contexts. The book includes practical exercises for those beginning in ministry and reflection questions.

"A robust and practical description of what it means to grow together in Christ"
Three leading Christian educators offer a survey of faith formation from various perspectives: biblical, theological, pastoral, practical, and global.
"What sets apart this work from other texts on faith is the careful attention given to the influence of context and community in faith formation. The catalyst of dissonance is recognized as a contributor to a robust faith, and insights related to globalization and diaspora are firmly grounded in biblical truth and evangelical theology. Diversity is viewed as the genesis of unity in Christ, and the authors remind us that there is one true faith to be celebrated among all believers, given by the triune God who initiates and sustains our faith."
--Karen E. Jones, Veritas Theology Institute, Huntington University
"This is a good basic work for exploring faith formation intended for educators, pastors, and church leaders. It is well researched and of particular interest for those in the Wesleyan and Pietist traditions, with helpful discussion questions for church leaders and readers. I applaud the initial attempt to consider the multiethnic and global dimensions of faith formation."
--Robert W. Pazmiño, Andover Newton Seminary, Yale Divinity School (emeritus)
"What a welcome introduction to Christian faith formation! Maddix, Kim, and Estep have provided us with sound biblical and theological reflection on how faith begins and grows, helpfully critiquing existing theories and approaches and offering a distinctively Christian understanding of this critical aspect of our relationship with God and others. This thoughtful integrative overview helps us better understand how God is at work and how we can cooperate so we can grow in faith and faithfulness."
--Kevin E. Lawson, editor, Christian Education Journal
"Faith formation is a communal process that lasts a lifetime. This process involves a partnership with the triune God and a community of faith at the local level, in collaboration with a global body of believers. Maddix, Kim, and Estep provide a robust and practical description of what it means to grow together in Christ."
--Octavio Javier Esqueda, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University
