The Family Trilogy Series: Key Messages
Current Research Projects
The Family Trilogy is a scholarly and ministerially engaged essay series produced under the Research Lab of Timothy Imuwahen at the Centre for Family Education Research (CFER), Testament Theological Seminary. It is published by TTS Press and constitutes the most comprehensive publication project undertaken by CFER to date.
The series proceeds from a foundational conviction that the family is not incidental to Christian theology but is one of its primary loci. The household is the place where faith is first encountered, embodied, and transmitted. It is the original school of theology, the primordial community of formation, and when rightly ordered, will release a domestic expression of the kingdom of God.
Across three manuscripts, thirty-six research articles, and one collected volume, The Family Trilogy examines the family in three concentric and theologically interconnected spheres: the home as the site of formation, the church as the community of sustenance and partnership, and society as the arena of witness and transformation. Each sphere opens onto the others; none can be understood in isolation.

Family Theology is the systematic and biblical study of the family as designed by God, rooted in Scripture, and essential to His redemptive plan. It explores the divine blueprint for marriage, parenting, gender roles, generational legacy, and the family’s relationship to the church and society. At its core, Family Theology views the family not just as a social unit, but as a spiritual institution created by God to reflect His nature, advance His Kingdom, and disciple the next generation. We believe the revival of the church and society begins with the restoration of biblical family life.
