The Life of Servanthood: Discipleship in the Pattern of Jesus

Language

Religion & Spirituality

To be a servant, in the most basic sense, is to serve someone other than yourself. In the secular arena, the word servant may even have a negative connotation, but what are its implications for those who follow Christ? What does it really mean to be a faithful servant of the Lord, or to have a servant’s heart?

In The Life of Servanthood, Timothy C. Tennent gets to the root of what it means to be a servant by laying a foundation through a distinctly Christian voice and vision. Tennent works through the seemingly paradoxical nature of how Christ's service brings about justice and salvation to the world. Jesus also provides a model which invites God's people to imitate him, and therefore embody what redemption looks like for the world. With theological expertise borne out of experience spanning more than thirty years, Tennent teaches readers what makes Christian servanthood unique and why its power endures as a countercultural force.
