Culture & the Kingdom: An Interview with Dr. Timothy Tennent
As I sat at the 2011 Free Will Baptist Leadership Conference, I attentively listened to David Wells as he quoted extensively from Timothy Tennent’s provocative inaugural address at Asbury Theological Seminary.

Nevertheless, in recent years Christian thinkers have called our attention to a biblical theology of creation. The Helwys Society...
