Encountering God: The Legacy of Lutheran Book of Worship for 21st Century Worship

This book lifts up the centrality of worship in the life of the parish. It holds many insights for practice and teaching about worship; and enlarges our vision of worship that is both ecumenical and confessional--centered in Word and Sacrament. The authors present a positive apologetic for the rich traditions of liturgical worship. The primary theme is that worship is to bring the worhsiper into an encounter with God.
