Exploring fundamental ways in which verbal expression in worship
relates to aesthetic expression, Clayton Schmit provides a vitally
important book for all homiletics students and scholars. Schmit
explains that worship isn't just a sequence of "holy" words, and he
reflects theologically on the relationship between verbal and
aesthetic expression, demonstrating the aesthetic significance of
verbal liturgical expression and the aesthetic responsibility of
those who preach, pray, and lead in public worship.
The reading of Scripture holds a central place in Christian
worship. Every week the Word of God becomes flesh again as the
words of the biblical text are read aloud. Those who take on the
responsibility of reading Scripture in public do so knowing its
importance, but rarely having the chance to train in how to do it
better. Most readers have never been given the opportunity to
consider how each act of public reading of Scripture is an
interpretation of the text, nor have they been given the tools for
an effective and faithful reading performance. These are the tools
that Clay Schmit seeks to offer in this practical guide to the
public reading of Scripture. He begins with a brief overview of the
meaning and importance of the spoken word in worship. He then goes
on to provide practical, detailed instructions on how to understand
the text for reading, practice reading it aloud with proper
emphasis, and deliver it in such a way that it becomes alive to the
congregation. The book concludes with several appendices, including
a pronunciation guide for biblical words and an annotated
bibliography that will point the reader in the direction of further
study.
Historic changes are occurring in the convergence of worship styles
throughout the Christian church. Christians across the theological
spectrum are seeking to learn from their own tradition's roots and
from the liturgical expressions of believers in other times and
places.
Here worship expert Clayton Schmit examines worship in church
settings around the globe and provides a practical manual for
shaping liturgies that are informed by and relevant to contemporary
missional contexts. The book broadens current ecumenical worship
conversations, reveals insights drawn from the church at worship in
the world, and argues for a common understanding of a theology of
worship.
