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: Informs our self-understanding of our own
bodies. Examines how we treat others. Reevaluates how we engage
today's controversial and difficult discussions on human sexuality
with grace, wisdom, and confidence. For the Body is a call to a
deeper understanding of our bodies and an invitation to recapture
the wonder of this amazing gift.
