Format: Paperback
description:
Fewer topics in the church today arouse more interest and
debate than the issue of worship, but settling the "worship
wars" will demand more than simply catering to opinions and
satisfying personal preferences. Authentic worship must begin
with a truly biblical understanding of its purpose and object,
as well as an informed perspective of how the Bible, baptism,
the Lord's Supper, and music contribute to genuine God- centered
worship. In this
important work, recognized experts offer worship leaders and
those preparing for ministry a valuable resource for sorting
through layers of tradition and unchanging biblical tenets. The
authors including a historical theologian, a systematic
theologian, and a specialist in cross-cultural studies examine
three key components to authentic worship:
- God as the object of
worship
- Music as the expression of
our worship
- Symbols as the images of
our worship
