by Dennis Okholm (Author)
This book introduces students to theology with sustained attention to how Christian beliefs and the church's worship interact, both historically and in practice. Dennis Okholm approaches the subject from the necessary intersection of theology and liturgy, showing that learning the church's doctrine apart from its worship undermines both. The book flows as if the reader were participating in a service of worship. It features illustrative charts and figures that complement challenging concepts and includes suggestions for assignments at the end of the book.
Back Jacket
This terrific and timely book demonstrates that the study of theology and the practices of worship ought to be close neighbors, constantly talking and learning from each other. Students will receive a double blessing in studying this book because they will both learn the remarkably deep conversation of Christian theology and see with new eyes the rich theological implications of worship.
--Leanne Van Dyk, Columbia Theological Seminary
--Simon Chan, editor, Asia Journal of Theology; Trinity Theological College "Theology and worship belong together. What we do together in public worship arises out of and then further forms our particular visions of who God is, the kind of salvation that is offered to us in Jesus Christ, and the nature of the Holy Spirit's work in the world. Thanks to Okholm for inviting students to see so many of the connections!"
--John D. Witvliet, Calvin Institute of Christian Worship, Calvin College and Calvin Theological Seminary "Through careful and accessible theological discussions, Okholm gives a much-needed voice to liturgy in this introductory book on Christian theology. It provides fresh and refreshing theological insights that will be beneficial to all students of theology."
--Victor I. Ezigbo, Bethel University "A most helpful model for the integration of biblical theology, theology proper, and worship studies. I enthusiastically recommend the book for pastors, teachers, students--all Christian worshipers."
--Andrew E. Hill, Wheaton College and the Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship Studies "An amazing ride! This book has rare breadth, and where needed, serious depth--all aimed at showing how praying and worshiping shape followers of Jesus in true belief and fruitful practice."
--Todd Hunter, Anglican bishop; founder, Churches for the Sake of Others "A pestilent dichotomy between doctrine and worship has infected Christian thought. Reading this book will heal you of the disease. Okholm introduces us to the rich beauty of our doctrine, performed every time we come together in worship. Reading this book will lead you to profound hallelujahs!"
--Brian Lugioyo, Azusa Pacific University
