My Name is Peter Lawrence...
And I live and serve in the hometown of Jesus. Already for more than a decade I have the joy and blessing to walk alongside Jesus-followers from Jewish, Christian and Muslim backgrounds in the Holy Land. As a Protestant Evangelical Theologian from The Netherlands, I find their faith journey both genuinely inspiring and tremendously challenging my own walk of faith. On this blog I want to share with you some of the lessons I am learning from these fellow travellers as they follow in the footsteps of Jesus where he walked on this earth.
Book: Fellow Travellers
Recently I published an academic book on the identity formation of Jesus-followers from Jewish, Christian and Muslim backgrounds in the Holy Land. In this ground-breaking study, the first in its kind, I compare the personal and collective experiences of these believers of evangelical faith.
