Description

Worship Seeking Understanding is a collection of fifteen essays on the practice of Christian worship. At first glance, this may seem like an unlikely collection. As you drop in at various points along the way, you may find references to both aesthetic theory and popular music, both metrical psalm singing and enthusiastic revivalism, both sacramental theology and funerals. You may discover some paragraphs that aptly describe your church on a Sunday morning and others that seem so far afield that you may wonder if they have anything to do with your Sunday churchgoing. These juxtapositions are exactly the point of this collection, for these essays, taken together, attempt to build bridges in three directions at the same time: between theory and practice, between one worship-related discipline and another, and between one Christian tradition and another. As challenging as building these bridges might be, I am convinced that the most fruitful avenue to worship renewal involves all three.
