Global Developments in Christianity - A Conversation with Timothy Tennent

Description

Rev. Dr. Timothy Tennent has been an expert in global Christianity for some time, doing back decades. As I learned in this interview, he actually did a lot of work on one of the primary texts that I had to read in my seminary class on the topic.

While Dr. Tennent is capable in many different faith-related disciplines, my particular concern was with attempting to understand the big picture as the Global Methodist Church starts preparing for our next General Conference. I did my best (it wasn’t good enough) to mine Dr. Tennent for a better understanding of our various partners in Christ throughout the world. We talked about persecution, privilege, and growth. We spoke of missiology, atheism, and Islam. We talked about some other good stuff. You should watch it or listen to it.
