Authentic Worship in a Changing Culture (Book)

Description

Authentic Worship is the work of many. It reflects the dedicated efforts of a seven-member Worship Study Committee that prepared a report for the 1997 Synod of the Christian Reformed Church. That report forms the core of this study edition.

Authentic Worship in a Changing Culture began as a study report within one denomination, the Christian Reformed Church in North America. But the issues dealt with will sound familiar to many Christians in many different communions. Though the language is often 'in house,' we offer this study in hopes that other communions may also find some help in analyzing the theological and cultural landscape that is home to all North Americans.
