Worship in the Best of Both Worlds

Forlagets omtale:
There are various tensions in Christian worship and, rather than opting for a balanced approach or a one-sided approach, Philip Greenslade recommends that Christians learn to embrace both extremes of each polarity.

• Worship is both about pleasing God and our own enjoyment.
• Worship is world-affirming (with a positive view of creation) and world-denying (confronting fallen political powers).
• Worship is charismatic and liturgical.
• Worship is an engagement with transcendent majesty and transforming intimacy.
• Worship is both prophetic praise and realistic lament.
• Worship remembers the past and anticipates the future.
• Worship embraces spontaneous instinctive cries and a learned language.

It is by worshipping at the extremes that we can experience deeper riches in our knowledge of God.
