How might our worship recapture and reflect the enchanted world of
God's nearness in Jesus Christ? In this first volume in IVP
Academic's Dynamics of Christian Worship series, John D. Rempel
offers a vision for this kind of transformative worship. A
theologian and minister in the Mennonite Church, Rempel considers
the role of the sacraments and ritual within the Free Church
tradition. While the Free Churches rightly sought to cleanse the
church of the abuses of sacramentalism, in that process they also
set aside some of the church's historic practices and the theology
behind them, which ultimately impoverished their worship. In
response to this liturgically thin space, Rempel appeals to the
incarnation of Christ, whose taking on of flesh can help us
perceive the sacramental nature of our faith and worship. By
embracing life-giving and peacemaking practices, the worship of not
only the Free Church tradition but of the whole body of Christ
might be transformed and become enchanted once again. The Dynamics
of Christian Worship series draws from a wide range of worshiping
contexts and denominational backgrounds to unpack the many dynamics
of Christian worship-including prayer, reading the Bible,
preaching, baptism, the Lord's Supper, music, visual art,
architecture, and more-to deepen both the theology and practice of
Christian worship for the life of the church.
