Worship renewal is now on the agenda of many Reformed churches, as
the need for adaptation and new approaches is acutely felt all
over. How can the church faithfully worship God in the midst of
rapidly changing situations? How can it constructively relate to
widely differing cultural contexts? What is its place in the wider
ecumenical scene? In preparing a sweeping survey of Reformed
worship across time and place, this volume provides some help to
those engaged with vital questions like these.
Written by theologians and liturgical scholars from a wide range
of churches and countries, these chapters explore the history of
Reformed worship on every continent from the sixteenth century to
the present. Surveying the most significant developments in the
growth of Reformed worship, the book identifies the major
"ingredients" that make the Reformed worship tradition distinctive
and highlights those aspects of Reformed worship that are
particularly relevant to present efforts at renewal. Indeed, an
important component of this book is the inclusion of "A Common
Reflection on Christian Worship in Reformed Churches Today, " the
result of a major consultation in January 2001 at the International
Reformed Center John Knox.
Revealing the rich variety of forms and diversity of
perspectives that have made and do make up Reformed worship
worldwide, this volume will be a valuable resource for church and
worship leaders both in and outside the Reformed family.
