In Worship As Theology, Don Saliers discusses how worship is
both theological (God-centered) and anthropological (embodied and
embedded in specific human and cultural contexts). He illuminates
worship as a theology "prayed, sung, and enacted." At the same
time--by focusing upon specific dimensions of liturgical action
such as praising, thanking, invoking, confessing, proclaiming,
interceding, and blessing--he addresses the differences between the
liturgical/sacramental and the "free-church"/evangelical church
traditions.
Underlying Saliers' approach is his basic conviction that
Christian liturgy is an eschatological art. Theological integrity
in worship, he asserts, calls for a permanent tension in the forms
and patterns which reflect the "already" and "not yet" of Christian
life in the world for the sake of the world. Worship As Theology,
therefore, begins and ends with the eschatology of the divine
promise, that the church's cry is still "Come, Lord Jesus " and
that God's will be done on earth "as in heaven."
