For the Body, by Timothy Tennent, will be our study for Midweek Fall 2026. This book will look at what it means to be created in the image of God and how our bodies serve as icons that illuminate God’s purposes. Tennent will examine topics like marriage, family, singleness, and friendship, and he looks at how the human body has been objectified in art and media today. He also offers a framework for discipling people today in a Christian theology of the body.

This study examines God’s design and purpose for the human body in eight sessions, promoting the wonder of our bodies serving as physical pointers to deeper spiritual realities. (Info taken from Seedbed website)
