The Wonder of Worship: Why We Worship the Way We Do

The author was bothered that so many of his students viewed worship as simply 'a contemporary experience largely cut off from its roots.' So he set out to link present worship practices with their historical roots in a way that would deepen faith and inspire wonder. He successfully creates that historical bridge while addressing the primary elements of worship, outlining their development through successive historical periods, and then closing each chapter with a series of incisive 'to think about' questions.
