Theology in the Context of World Christianity: Audio Lectures

How the Global Church Is Influencing the Way We Think About and Discuss Theology

De: Timothy C. Tennent

Narrado por: Timothy C. Tennent

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Theology in the Context of World Christianity: Audio Lectures includes high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.

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, new contexts bring new questions, new understandings, and new expressions. What does this mean for theology? Is the Christian faith not only culturally translatable, but also theologically translatable? In Theology in the Context of World Christianity Audio Lectures, seminary president and missionary Timothy Tennent answers this question with a resounding yes.

Theological reflection is alive and well in the majority world church, and these new perspectives need to be heard, considered, and brought into conversation with Western theologians. Global theology can make us aware of our own blind spots and biases. Largely conservative in its stance, global theology has much to offer toward the revitalization of Western Christianity. Theology in the Context of World Christianity Audio Lectures examines traditional theological concepts in different contexts from across the globe, making these sessions valuable for students, pastors, missionaries, and theologians alike.

Great for missions

I would not use this book to create a theology but to weigh what you think of theology in other contexts. I loved this book for its desire to know how to serve others better with gospel of Jesus Christ.

A must-read for any mission-minded Christian!

Tennent is masterful at dealing with all perspectives and issues related to theology in the majority world.

A wholistic and holy endeavor

These lectures are profound, powerful and a prophetic voice for the American church to humbly rethink and and consider afresh what a robust and rigorous Christian theology should be in the global context. Every Pastor and theologian who takes seriously the call to see the gospel preached to all the nations should wrestle with these realities.

Challenging

This is a great challenge to Western thinking and a sweeping look at how the Western concept of Christianity relates to both world religions and to Christian thought in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

Not the book

The author states similar things to the book but it strays too much. I like to read along with the author and this audiobook is very different from the book.
