Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Fred

This book should be read widely -- throughout the church, all over the world, but especially in the west. It re-calibrated my vision by drawing attention to the theological discussions of Christian leaders in the Majority World. Timothy Tennent seems like the man to write this book. He has taught th......more

Goodreads review by Ryan

Although slightly repetitive at times, the book does an incredible job exploring how the rapid development of the world church (that is, the church outside of the West) necessitates the continuing growth and expansion of our theology. In order to engage the world better, we must learn to think and s......more

Goodreads review by Ethan

In this book, Tennent looks at how non-Western Christians are translating key theological concepts to enable the spread of the gospel in new cultures. Each chapter looks at a different theological topic and examines a specific cultural context in which it is being discussed in a new way. For example......more
