Twenty Centuries of Christian Worship (Book)

Robert E. Webber

Edited by: Robert E. Webber.

Description

"Twenty Centuries of Christian Worship is a valuable resource for exploring the richly textured worship heritage of the Christian church. It is at once broad and specific, with a clarity of focus that challenges readers to understand the present by looking at the past and to think critically but sensitively about why and how Christians worship."
