This revised edition of the popular textbook on worship by renowned
hymn writer and professor Ruth C. Duck provides theological
foundations for worship and explores the ways Christians have
adapted worship to various cultures to help them live faithfully
and to communicate the gospel to others. The author celebrates the
many languages and cultural settings in which the gospel has been,
and is, preached, sung, and prayed. The goal of this volume is to
support good pastoral and congregational reflection on what worship
is and does. Consequently, Duck discusses many different forms of
worship from several cultures (African American, Asian,
Euro-American) and offers advice on how to read a congregation and
define its culture in order to plan culturally appropriate worship.
She includes many practical suggestions for preparing and leading
worship, including diverse ministries of music, movement, and
visual arts that are becoming more popular today. From worship's
theological underpinnings, the book turns to worship leadership,
forms of prayer, preaching, the sacraments, ordination, and various
other liturgies. Because of its emphasis on vital and Spirit-led
worship, this comprehensive book on Christian worship will be used
in years to come, not only as a core textbook for seminarians and
ministry students from a variety of cultures and traditions but
also as a resource for local church pastors and laity who are
dedicated to the enlivening of Christian worship. In this new
edition, Duck updates and expands the recommended resources,
updates the section on worship trends, enhances the section on
multicultural worship, and revises marriage information based on
cultural and denominational changes. Highlights include stories of
four churches that are developing creative ways to grow and meet
the possibilities and challenges of these times, especially in
seeking justice, serving people in their neighborhood, and building
bridges among cultures and religious groups. In addition, a new
appendix by David Gambrell addresses the theological and practical
questions surrounding online worship in the context of the Covid-19
pandemic and beyond.
