The Calvin Institute of Christian Worshi Christian Worship Worldwide: Expanding Horizons Deepening Practices (Paperback)

As Christianity has boomed in the non-Western world several significant questions have emerged regarding how worship and culture relate. Charles Farhadian here presents a timely investigation of the interaction between culture and worship. Leading scholars -- experts in history mission culture and liturgy -- offer diverse essays addressing worship in the context of worldwide Christianity. At the heart of Christian Worship Worldwide are several case studies from Africa Asia Latin America and the Pacific that explore the contours of particular nations cultures and liturgical actions. These essays show how Christian plurality is most vividly exemplified in the context of worship where language song culture and indigenous theology come together. Contributors: M. L.
