Providing structure for thinking seriously about worship as a
part of Christian faith and experience, Foundations of Christian
Worship addresses the question, what is Christian worship and why
do Christians worship as they do? Beginning with an overview of the
theological, biblical, historical, and anthropological foundations
of Christian worship, Susan J. White then turns to discussing its
components--prayer, creeds, music, time, ritual, and art. Later,
she delves into the nourishment of the Christian life and the major
worship events throughout the human life cycle. Finally, she
discusses contemporary challenges to Christian worship and
concludes with case studies for further exploration. With helpful
appendixes and a glossary of liturgical terms, Susan White's
"Foundations of Christian Worship" is an excellent primer for
seminary students and ministers early in their careers.
