Historical Foundations of Worship

Description

This volume brings together an ecumenical team of scholars to offer a historical overview of how worship developed in three major Christian traditions. Historical Foundations of Worship first orients readers to the common core elements the global church shares in the history and development of worship theology and historical practice. It then introduces the major streams of worship practice: Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant, including Reformation traditions, evangelicalism, and Pentecostalism. The book includes introductions by John Witvliet and Nicholas Wolterstorff and is the second of a two-volume worship project, following Theological Foundations of Worship. It will be of use to professors and students in worship, history, and liturgy classes and will serve as a resource for thoughtful pastors and worship leaders.
