Description

This new book on worship by renowned hymn creator and professor Ruth C. Duck provides theological foundations for worship and explores the variety of ways Christians have adapted worship to quite a lot of cultures to help them live faithfully and to communicate the Gospel to others. The creator celebrates the many languages and cultural settings in which the Gospel has been, and is, preached, sung, and prayed. The goal of this volume is to toughen good pastoral and congregational reflection on what worship is and does. In consequence, Duck discusses many different forms of worship from several cultures (African-American, Asian, Euro-American) and offers advice on how to read a congregation and define its culture with a purpose to plan culturally appropriate worship. Despite the fact that the book does not offer prescriptive formulas or advise a single pattern of worship, it includes many practical suggestions for preparing and leading worship, including diverse ministries of music, movement, and visual arts that are becoming more popular today.

From worship’s theological underpinnings the book turns to worship leadership, forms of prayer, preaching, the sacraments, ordination, and quite a lot of other liturgies. On account of its emphasis on vital and Spirit-led worship, this comprehensive book on Christian worship will be used in future years not only as a core textbook for seminarians and ministry students from a number of cultures and traditions, but also as a resource for local church pastors and laity who are dedicated to the enlivening of Christian worship.
