Description
Book SynopsisAn exploration of what worship looks like from a biblical standpoint and why the topic of worship can be so contentious among Christians.
Because worship is inherently theological--because it''s a manifestation of humanity''s response to God''s holiness--it''s important to take seriously how we worship and the roles it serves in personal displays of adoration and in community with other believers.
Exploring the Worship Spectrum provides an overview, critique, and celebration of six prominent worship styles:
- Formal-Liturgical – represented by Paul Zahl
- Traditional Hymn-Based – represented by Harold Best
- Contemporary Music-Driven – represented by Joe Horness
- Charismatic – represented by Don Williams
- Blended – represented by Robert Webber
- Emerging – represented by Sally Morgenthaler
This unique format allows those with a heart for worship to compare
Trade Review
Six different writers each present a chapter on their particular worship -- running the gamut from formal liturgical, to charismatic, to emerging worship. Each chapter is followed by short commentaries by the other writers providing a variety of perspectives on each worship style. What emerges is a fascinating conversation that doesn't try to convert you to one particular style of worship, but broadens your mind to the inherent worth of different types of worship. A good read. * YouthWorker Journal *
