Liturgical Worship

Description

This is an essential introductory to liturgy for both ordinands and trainee lay readers - indeed for anyone who finds themselves having to plan or lead public worship. Well-known worship writer and speaker Mark Earey has written this book both for lovers and loathers of liturgical worship - and for those who want to discover it for the first time. This updated and enlarged second edition now includes: * How liturgy works as ritual; * The use of liturgy in different traditions; * The shape of the Christian year - and what this tells us about God's engagement with the world; * Patterns of reading scripture in worship; using music and song; and how to use words and silence in worship. Liturgical Worship will enthuse and give confidence to anyone who needs to know more about this fascinating subject.
