Worship: Adoration and Action

Publisher's Description

Anxious that current interest in and discussion of worship are too much preoccupied with mere mechanics, Dr. Carson joined with an international group of scholars to produce this final volume of the five Tyndale Consultations.

First, a biblical theology of worship is explored by the Japanese, Yoshiaki Hattori, and the Australian, David Peterson. From this foundation, there follow reflections upon the practice of worship in nine different contexts: denominational (including Anglicanism and Lutheranism), cultural (South America and the Two Thirds World), and also the charismatic movement and student groups. In the final part, the Croat theologian Miroslav Volf concludes that worship is “the outworking of God-centeredness in individual and corporate experience'.

The opinions expressed, although at times in disagreement with one another, are an indication of the wealth of diversity within the worldwide church.

Includes a chapter on Presbyterian Worship by Edmund P. Clowney
