In For the Body, author Timothy Tennent explores the contours of the Christian vision of the body and human sexuality that focuses on God's design and the purpose of the human body, the variety of different ways we are called into relationships with others, and how contemporary society has marred this grand vision. 'Against the backdrop of a toxic, sex-saturated culture and an increasingly secularized church, this book argues forcefully for a recovery of a biblically grounded understanding of humanity. The argument is constructive, provocative, and astute as it clears away the contemporary clutter to show us what is enduringly true about ourselves. This is a brave and much-needed book.'
