WORSHIP FOUNDATIONS Melanie C. Ross and Mark A. Lamport, series editors
This volume brings together an ecumenical team of scholars to of- fer a historical overview of how worship developed in three major Christian traditions. Historical Foundations of Worship first orients readers to the com- mon 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, Or- thodox, and Protestant, including Reformation traditions, evan- gelicalism, and Pentecostalism. The book includes introductions by John Witvliet and Nicholas Wolterstorff and is the second of a two-volume worship project, following Theological Foundations of Worship . It will be of use to professors and students in wor- ship, history, and liturgy classes and will serve as a resource for thoughtful pastors and worship leaders. “This sweeping overview of liturgical history is useful for both the novice and the expert. A highly recommended resource for those seeking to grasp not only the multiple origins of Christian worship but also the complexity of tradi- tions as they continue to develop today.” —GERARDO MARTÍ, Davidson College; author of Worship across the Racial Divide: Religious Music and the Multiracial Congregation “The second volume of this much-needed series is a lively historical read. It engages the reader in a manner that leads them to know many new things about the ways in which God works through his gathered assemblies and, by so doing, invites the reader to know even more about their ecclesial neighbors.” —AMY C. SCHIFRIN, North American Lutheran Seminary “Offers an admirable and engaging introduction for the student navigating a way into liturgical studies, and it is a comprehensive guide for anyone responsible for over- seeing that journey.” —BRIDGET NICHOLS, Church of Ireland Theological Institute, Dublin
