About this product
Product Information
What exactly is worship? How can we account for its power? In Worship Seeking Understanding, noted worship expert John Witvliet mines the riches of the Bible, theology, history, music, and pastoral research to provide windows into the practice of Christian worship. With this work, Witvliet attempts to build bridges between theory and practice, among various worship-related disciplines, and across denominational lines. If worship renewal is to occur, each bridge must be formed. His hope is that this work will not only articulate questions about worship but also enrich the practice of worship in congregations today. Witvliet's broad scope and insightful advice will be welcomed by pastors, worship leaders, church leaders, and students.

Reviews
"When it comes to music in worship, it is rare to find a person who can cross the really tough boundaries--between theory and practice and between different worship-related disciplines and entrenched church traditions. John Witvliet is such a person. These essays, drawing on many years of experience, will do much to expand our vision, not only of worship but also of the God who inspires it."-Jeremy Begbie, University of St. Andrews"Written with pastoral sensitivity and scholarly precision, this book is a most insightful description of the current situation in worship and church music. It is a generous down payment on the future work of a new generation of scholars concerned about contemporary Christian worship."-James F. White, visiting professor of liturgical studies, Yale University"If you are looking for a book that spans the academic horizon of worship, look no more. John Witvliet explores the relationship between the theoretical and practical in the biblical, historical, theological, musical, and cultural disciplines. Worship Seeking Understanding leads us into a worship that is grounded in the great tradition yet accessible to the person in the pew."-Robert Webber, Myers Professor of Ministry, Northern Baptist Seminary"This is a book written by a worship enthusiast! It is permeated by a commitment to authentic, honest, and worthy Christian worship. Witvliet ranges widely over issues of sacraments, lament, liturgy, pastoral ministry, biblical foundations, and contemporary worship concerns. He does so with a breadth of knowledge, a vision for authentic worship, and a love for the church, making this book a necessity for all seminary students and pastors."-Leanne Van Dyk, associate professor of Reformed theology, Western Seminary"Worship as a serious theological and pastoral discipline is broad in its historical and denominational contexts, and its contemporary issues and dimensions are myriad. Among the younger generation of scholars in this field, John Witvliet has one of the sharpest minds and the proven ability to tackle worship studies in all these areas. The essays in this collection bring together a serious historical interest, a perceptive theological critique, and the skill of a practitioner writing for other practitioners. Scholars, pastors, and students will be stimulated by this excellent book."-Bryan D. Spinks, professor of liturgical studies, Yale University Divinity School and Institute of Sacred Music"John Witvliet is a theological engineer. In this important work, he is building bridges: between liturgical theology and the practice of Christian worship; between theological disciplines; and between Christian traditions. As today's church seeks to understand the confounding issue of corporate worship, we would do well to consider Witvliet's wise counsel as a theologian, musician, and practitioner. Witvliet knows the range of liturgical, ecumenical, and practical territory that needs linkage. He invites the reader to cross the divides and to discover that worship renewal can result when the conversation is lively and widely informed."-Clayton J. Schmit, academic program director, Brehm Center for Worship, Theology, and the Arts, Fuller Theological Seminary"Here are fifteen insightful essays on Christian worship that build strong bridges between theory and practice. Writing from a distinctive Reformed standpoint, John Witvliet provides fresh and challenging ways to rethink biblical, historical, musical, and pastoral dimensions of worship that are both theologically informed and relevant to contemporary church practice. All who are concerned to renew and deepen public worship and the faith life of congregations should read these pages."-Don E. Saliers, Wm. R. Cannon Distinguished Professor of Theology and Worship, Candler School of Theology, Emory University
