Can we understand worship in a way that transcends style,
relevance, and aesthetics? Taking into account the most contested
issues of the "worship wars," prominent New Testament scholar Edith
Humphrey shows how the act of entering into God's presence is
central to all true Christian worship. Regardless of worship style,
when we come into God's presence, we praise God alongside angels
and with the whole of creation.
Seeking to reclaim the forgotten theme of worship as entry into
God's presence, Humphrey shows its prominence in the Bible,
providing an accessible but thorough study of the Old and New
Testaments. She analyzes key moments in church history to show how
worship developed in Eastern and Western churches. She also draws
insights from healthy worshiping communities around the globe. The
book offers practical guidance to worship directors, pastors,
thoughtful lay readers, and students with regards to balanced and
faithful worship.
