Dr. Timothy C. Tennent is president and professor of world Christianity at Asbury Theological Seminary.
In his new book, For the Body: Recovering a Theology of Gender, Sexuality, and the Human Body, Dr. Tennent looks at what it means to be created in the image of God and how our bodies serve as icons that illuminate God's purposes. He examines topics like marriage, family, singleness, and friendship, and he looks at how the human body has been objectified in art and media today. He also offers a framework for discipling people today in a Christian theology of the body.
