The Worship Architect : A Blueprint for Designing Culturally Relevant and Biblically Faithful Services

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A comprehensive master class for worship leaders'Worship professor and practitioner Constance Cherry shows how to create services that are faithful to Scripture, historically conscious, relevant to God, Christ-centered, and engaging for worshipers of all ages. The second edition has been thoroughly updated and revised.'Cherry shows us that pastoral theology and the practice of theology is never an 'either-or' but always a 'both-and.' Let's follow her lead and rediscover the unity that exists between the two.'--Robert E. Webber+, author of Ancient-Future Worship'Many books about corporate worship focus on style and technique, neglecting theological substance. Others are substantive but neglect the vital role that stylistic choices and approaches to planning have in the week-in, week-out life of congregations. Cherry approaches her task by inviting us all to make regular border crossings between theory and practice. The result is a book well suited to promote the lifelong learning needed for any effective ministry leader.'--John D. Witvliet, Calvin Institute of Christian Worship, Calvin University and Calvin Theological Seminary'This second edition of The Worship Architect makes Bible-based, historically conscious, and God-aware training for worship leaders even more accessible, taking into account changes in our world such as the blending of physical and online spaces. In this classic text, Cherry grounds Christian activity within our worship of Jesus Christ, stating 'we worship locally to serve globally.''--Tanya Riches, Hillsong College, Australia'The structure and design of congregational worship play a crucial role in the spiritual formation of worshipers. If worship is God's gift to us, then this new edition of The Worship Architect is Cherry's guide to help us steward this gift well. This book is a comprehensive master class for worship leaders who want to design worship that is pleasing to God.'--Abson P. Joseph, Wesley Seminary (Indiana Wesleyan University)'The Worship Architect is a helpful combination of solid theology, artistic creativity, pastoral sensitivity, and wisdom gained from the author's wealth of experience in leading and planning worship.'--Lester Ruth, Duke Divinity School.
