Worship Is the Road to Revival: Conversing with Dr. Robert E. Webber
Ebook
Overview
Are we too comfortable with traditional forms of worship? Are these forms truly historical, or are they man-made distortions of God’s prescribed ecclesial order? Do our accepted methods work against the functioning of the local church in its mission to evangelize and disciple, rather than enhance it? Join Dr. Robert E. Webber in this compilation of previously published articles and uncollected addresses as he discusses with characteristic humor and candor the diverse aspects of ancient and contemporary worship practices, from the church in its infancy to the advent of the contemporary “megachurch” movement. As in his many books, including Worship is a Verb and Worship: Old & New, Webber explores the attitudes and liturgies through which we approach a loving God. Webber might infuriate or delight, or both, but he always stimulates.
This book’s informal interviews and teaching sessions capture Robert Webber’s voice and brilliant teaching skills. The reader hears him emphasize the importance of reconnecting contemporary Christian worship with the traditions and practices of the early church because he argues that the route to renewal lies in turning to tradition, which has the power to revitalize contemporary Christian communities.
——James C. Wilhoit, professor emeritus of Christian education, Wheaton College
Robert Webber’s sparkling wit, creative imagination, insightful knowledge, ability for clear communication, and, especially, steadfast devotion to the gospel all leap from the pages of this book. We owe a debt of gratitude to Keith Call for making accessible these small gems from Webber’s life work.
——Lester Ruth, research professor of Christian worship, Duke Divinity School
