Tom holds a BA in Biblical Studies, an MTh, ThM, and a PhD in Biblical Studies with a focus on the New Testament. His YouTube channel has attracted over 6,000 subscribers, featuring a viral video with over 100,000 views, and he has been featured on several podcasts. Tom’s research and insights into early Christian assemblies have been described as "wonderfully researched and presented," "absolutely groundbreaking," and a "profound reorientation of our thinking." At the same time, some have called it "heresy," "false teaching," and "blasphemy."
How We Got Worship Wrong: Revolutionary Research into Early Church Meetings
Tom Wadsworth’s forthcoming book, now in draft stage, offers a groundbreaking exploration of why the first century church did not have "worship services." This work, based on Tom's 300-page doctoral dissertation, delves into the historical, cultural, linguistic, and theological factors behind first century assemblies and their stark differences to our modern church culture.
The book will appeal to a wide range of readers, including scholars, pastoral leaders, and committed Christians alike. Far from being a negative critique of the modern church, the book proposes a list of practical recommendations that answer the question, "What Do We Do Now?"
