This book explores one of the great paradoxes of our era. Western
culture has almost imperceptibly come to secularize the sacred,
while at the same time sacralizing the secular. The authors
endeavor to show the debilitating effects that this paradox has had
on the foundations of Christian worship with special reference to
the history of worship and in particular the Presbyterian Church in
Australia. The authors show how the theological predilection for
'minimization' has become inextricably woven into the fabric of
what we call 'the theory of transformative subjugation' which
drives the rationale for religious secularization. The book argues
that it is necessary to consider a serious reconstruction of
theological education in which its framework is located in a
specific Christian theory of knowledge which engenders the Lordship
of Christ and encourages a spirit of transformative love and
connectedness. It is only in this context that the theology of
worship and the beauty and usefulness of liturgical forms can be
appreciated.
