This volume brings together an ecumenical team of scholars to offer
a historical overview of how worship developed. The book first
orients readers to the common core elements the global church
shares in the history and development of worship theology and
historical practice. It then introduces the major streams of
worship practice: Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant, including
Reformation traditions, evangelicalism, and Pentecostalism. The
book includes introductions by John Witvliet and Nicholas
Wolterstorff. A previous volume addressed the theological
foundations of worship.
This volume brings together an ecumenical team of scholars to

Christian tradition, highlighting themes such as creation,
pneumatology, sanctification, and mission. The book includes
introductions by N. T. Wright and Nicholas Wolterstorff. A
forthcoming volume will address the historical foundations of
worship.
Biblical, historical and theological scholars on both sides of the
Atlantic assess the work of Professor Spinks. The study of liturgy
has received criticism from scholars and practitioners alike: the
academic discipline of liturgiology has been compared to the hobby
of stamp collection, and proponents for liturgical renewal argue
that worship must be made more accessible and relevant. Bryan
Spinks has been an important moderating voice in this discussion,
reminding both academic and ecclesial communities that Christ is
made known in the liturgical riches of the past as well as in
contemporary forms of the present. Inspired by Spinks' work, this
volume brings together biblical, historical, and theological
scholars to discuss the theme of continuity and change in worship.
Its historical range begins with the early church, extends through
the Reformation, and concludes with a discussion of issues facing
contemporary liturgical reform. In recognition of the fact that
Professor Spinks' work has been widely influential in both Europe
and the United States, the editors have solicited liturgical
perspectives from scholars with international reputations on sides
of the Atlantic.

The reasons why African women become engaged in sex work have
received little attention in academic research. While it is largely
acknowledged that there exists a connection between entering the
sex trade and poverty, not all women who are poor enter sex work.
Through the use of life histories with 21 women between the ages of
18 and 42, this book explores the combination of factors that lead
women and girls to become commercial sex workers in Nairobi, Kenya.
The life histories provide a detailed look at initiation into sex
work as it occurs over the life course for women and girls in this
context. Additionally, this book examines how structural violence
impinges on the lives of women, thereby increasing their
vulnerability to engagement in sex work. In Nairobi, many girls are
losing caregiver support by being orphaned, while additionally,
women are burdened with providing total economic and social support
for the family in a society that has gendered economic
opportunities. Both girls and women are left with few options other
than the sex trade to survive.
