Worship Old and New
About this eBook
The most effective approach to worship is one that blends historical and traditional practices with contemporary elements. Worship Old and New is a scholarly, up-to-date, and thought-provoking resource for anyone serious about exploring worship and how to bring about a worship renewal in the church.
Now reformatted and updated for an easier, more logical approach to worship theology, this revised edition is divided into four major sections, addressing:
- The biblical foundation of worship—found in the Old and New Testaments as well as the early Christian movement.
- The biblical theology of worship—how worship is an enactment of the Gospel.
- A brief history of worship—from ancient and medieval, to twentieth-century renewal.
- An overview of how worship is practiced—from content and structure, to the role of music and art.
New information is incorporated into each section to give you a better grasp of the biblical themes of worship, a deeper understanding of Old Testament customs, and a solid grounding in modern-day renewal movements.
This book is ideal for ministerial, classroom, and congregational settings.
