Timothy C. Tennent – författare

An in-depth look at what it means to be created in the image of God and how our bodies serve as icons that illuminate God''s purposes instead of ours.

The human body is an amazing gift, yet today, many people downplay its importance and fail to understand what Christianity teaches about our bodies and their God-given purposes. Many people misunderstand how the body was designed, its role in relating to others; and we lack awareness of the dangers of objectifying the body, divorcing it from its intended purpose.

Timothy Tennent covers topics like marriage, family, singleness, and friendship, and he looks at how the human body has been objectified in art and media today. For the Body offers a biblical framework for discipling people today in a Christian theology of the body.

Tennent—theologian and president of Asbury Theological Seminary—explores the contours of a robust Christian vision of the body, human sexuality, and the variety of different ways we are called into relationships with others. This book will reveal a theological vision that:

For the Body is a call to a deeper understanding of our bodies and an invitation to recapture the wonder of this amazing gift.

Thinking more globally about the formation of theology enriches our understanding of what it means to be a Christian.

It''s no secret that the center of Christianity has shifted from the West to the global South and East. While the truths of the Christian faith are universal, different contexts and cultures illuminate new questions, understandings, and expressions. What does this mean for theology, as Western theologians understand it?

Timothy Tennent argues that the Christian faith is culturally and theologically translatable. Theology in the Context of World Christianity is written to expand our "ecclesiastical cartography" by highlighting—within each of the major themes of systematic theology—studies that are engaging the global church, such as:

Each of the ten chapters examines traditional theological categories in conversation with theologians from across the globe, making this volume valuable for students, pastors, missionaries, and theologians alike.

Theological reflection is active and exciting in the majority world church, and Tennent invites you to your own reflection and celebration of Christ''s global church. These are perspectives that should be heard, considered, and brought into conversation with Western theologians. Global theology can make us aware of our own blind spots and biases and has much to offer toward the revitalization of Western Christianity.

The word holiness comes from the Hebrew word, kadash, which

means “to separate” or “to set apart” or “to distinguish.” Holiness is

central to the Christian understanding of the gospel, and we

are called to be holy because of the simple fact that God is holy.

The meditations in The Call to Holiness: Pursuing the Heart of God

for the Love of the World explore how God’s holiness is manifested

within the larger framework of His self-revelation as found in

the Bible and in our lives. These short reflections demonstrate that

holiness—along with all of God’s other amazing attributes—always

informs who He is in all of His dealings with us. An examination

of this important doctrine will lead us to a deeper relationship

with God and one another, and ultimately, will affect how we live

in the world.

To lack a basic knowledge of the Old Testament is a great hindrance to fully grasping how Jesus Christ fulfills ideals and expectations that were set in motion hundreds and thousands of years ago. Through these pages you will come to appreciate the Old Testamnet more fully and see with even greater clarity the full power and revelation of Jesus Christ.

In a world awash with mission statements, the Christian mission is increasingly becoming white noise, lost in a sea of marketing language and organizational best practices.

How God Saves the World takes a look at the mission of the church in a way you might not have understood it before. Rather than exploring the history of global Christianity through a long series of countless names and events, Timothy Tennent presents this remarkable journey in the three-act model of a true epic play.

Complete with a world in turmoil, heroes and heroines of all shapes and sizes, and the ultimate Guide leading the way, this short book will remind you of the small, yet significant role we play in a much larger story that spans both time and space.

Never-changing gospel. Ever-changing world. What gives?

On the one hand, the gospel message does not change. Jesus Christ was crucified on a cross and raised from the dead to deliver condemned sinners like you and me. That basic message does not change. On the other hand, entering many churches today feels more like walking into a Starbucks or Panera Bread than entering a sanctuary of worship. And the truth? This is not a problem, until it is.

Through this series of incisive scriptural reflections Timothy Tennent helps readers discern the challenges of living out an uncompromising gospel in an increasingly compromised culture.

La palabra santidad viene de una palabra hebrea, kadash, que signifi ca “separar” o “poner aparte” o “distinguir”. Esta palabra es vital para poder entender el evangelio. Se nos llama a ser santos por el simple hecho de que Dios es santo. La meditaciones en El llamado a la santidad: Siguiendo el corazón de Dios por el amor del mundo exploran como se manifi esta la santidad de Dios dentro del marco de su auto-revelación como aparece en la Biblia y en nuestra vidas. Estas refl exiones nos muestran que la santidad˛junto con todos los otros atributos magníÿ cos de Dios˛siempre nos informa de quién es Él en su trato con nosotros. Un examen cuidadoso de esta doctrina importante nos conducirá a una relación más profunda con Dios y con nuestro prójimo, y por último afectará cómo vivimos en este mundo.

“What’s the role of the Holy Spirit in my life?”

Are you, like other Christians, asking this question? Do you understand the work of Jesus but are confused by the work of the Spirit?

It’s time the church again understands the incredible work of the Holy Spirit, which is not to merely inspire or educate you, but to transform you.

In this book, Dr. Timothy Tennent studies acts of the Spirit in the Old and New Testament, historic conversion stories, as well as modern examples from around the world, exploring the three great channels through which the Holy Spirit works in our lives:

- power for global witness

- holiness for sanctified purity

- discernment for faithful living

Are you ready to be filled with the Holy Spirit? Pentecost wasn’t just a one-time event but is an ongoing process—the knot that ties the church to its holy, empowered mission in the world.

Are you looking for the fire of God to fall upon your life? Be ready. You, too, can be filled with the Holy Spirit, and it will change your life and the life of your church forever.
