Overview

This book invites the reader to see how God’s word can become the crux not only of the sermon but of the worship service as a whole. Over the past half-century, worship scholars have found a substantial ecumenical worship pattern in Luke’s story of Jesus’ post-resurrection appearance on the road and at the table in Emmaus. In that word-and-meal structure, the relationship between preaching and worship as distinct aspects of liturgical experience breaks down. The preached word and the liturgical event within which preaching is located become integral to each other. This book invites the reader to explore how—through God’s word—preaching informs and is, in turn, supported by the worship event as a whole.
