Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Important Study on the Worship of the Early Church This introduction to the origins of Christian worship illuminates the importance of ancient liturgical patterns for contemporary Christian practice. Andrew McGowan takes a fresh approach to understanding how Christians came to worship in the distinctive forms still familiar today. Deftly and expertly processing the bewildering complexity of the ancient sources into lucid, fluent exposition, he sets aside common misperceptions to explore the roots of Christian ritual practices--including the Eucharist, baptism, communal prayer, preaching, Scripture reading, and music--in their earliest recoverable settings. Now in paper.

Book excerpt: "Book, Bath, Table, and Time: Christian Worship as Source and Resource for Youth Ministry," offers practical and proven ideas that center youth ministry in liturgy and worship, with playfulness and practicality to successfully engage the younger generation. With solid theological grounding, Fred P. Edie provides suggestions on how youth can practice the ordo, the ancient church's "ordered" life around its liturgical holy things: bath (Baptism); book (Scriptures); table (Eucharist); and calendar (the prayerful patterning of time). Through this book, youth leaders will be able to guide Christian youth to experience God's presence and take up their baptismal vocations before God and for the world.

Book excerpt: “What is at stake is authenticity. . . . Sooner or later Christians tire of public meetings that are profoundly inauthentic, regardless of how well (or poorly) arranged, directed, performed. We long to meet, corporately, with the living and majestic God and to offer him the praise that is his due.”—D. A. CarsonWorship is a hot topic, but the ways that Christians from different traditions view it vary greatly. What is worship? More important, what does it look like in action, both in our corporate gatherings and in our daily lives? These concerns—the blending of principle and practice—are what Worship by the Book addresses.Cutting through cultural clichés, D. A. Carson, Mark Ashton, Kent Hughes, and Timothy Keller explore, respectively:· Worship Under the Word· Following in Cranmer’s Footsteps· Free Church Worship: The Challenge of Freedom· Reformed Worship in the Global City “This is not a comprehensive theology of worship,” writes Carson. “Still less is it a sociological analysis of current trends or a minister’s manual chockfull of ‘how to’ instructions.” Rather, this book offers pastors, other congregational leaders, and seminary students a thought-provoking biblical theology of worship, followed by a look at how three very different traditions of churchmanship might move from this theological base to a better understanding of corporate worship. Running the gamut from biblical theology to historical assessment all the way to sample service sheets, Worship by the Book shows how local churches in diverse traditions can foster corporate worship that is God-honoring, Word-revering, heartfelt, and historically and culturally informed.

Book excerpt: This unique textbook not only lays out the religious-studies framework of a contemporary understanding of Christian worship. It also offers keys to the experience of Christian worship in each historical period, including the American experience. Ramshaw's novel and creative approach -- which shows the roots of Christian worship in symbol, ritual, myth, and sacred place -- bridges the great cultural divide between today's student and the chief Christian rites rooted in the ancient world. In light of this history of experiences, Ramshaw also illuminates and addresses ongoing issues in worship (gender, authority, ethics, skepticism) and places them into an exlicitly cross-religious framework with Islam, Judaism, and other traditions. -- Book jacket flap.
