Worship Come To Its Senses
$20.99Add to cartWhat makes Christian worship both true and relevant to ever-changing human circumstances? How can our gathering about the Scriptures, the Table of the Lord, and the waters of baptism shape and express authentic Christian faith in the world of everyday life? In this book, Don Saliers finds a fresh way of answering these questions by exploring four “senses” of God: awe, delight, truth, and hope. Why are wonderment, surprise, truthfulness, and expectancy so often missing or diminished in Christian liturgy today, whether Protestant or Roman Catholic, “high church” or “low church”, “traditional” or “contemporary”? These are essential qualities of both worship and life. Saliers contends that we are still restless for communion with God, and suggests how these essentials may be rediscovered by every worshiping congregation. At stake are the means of grace received from Christ, attested to in the Scriptures and shown in every faithful worshiping assembly.

Worship As Theology
$30.99Add to cartIn Worship As Theology, Don Saliers discusses how worship is both theological and anthropological (embodied and embedded in specific human and cultural contexts). He illuminates theology “prayed, sung, and enacted.” At the same time, by focusing upon specific dimensions of liturgical action such as praising, thanking, invoking, confessing, proclaiming, interceding, and blessing, he addresses the differences between the liturgical/ sacramental and the “free – church”/ evangelical church traditions.
