What does worship look like? Is there just one truly right way to worship?
Are there any wrong ways? To what extent should our unity as believers manifest
itself in unified public worship?
Sadly, disagreement over how we should worship our loving God has sparked some
most unloving attitudes among Christians. Exploring the Worship Spectrum seeks
to correct this. It provides a forum for presentation, critique, and defense of
six prominent worship styles:
- Formal-Liturgical – Paul Zahl
- Traditional Hymn-Based – Harold Best
- Contemporary Music-Driven – Joe Horness
- Charismatic – Don Williams
- Blended –
Robert Webber
- Emerging – Sally Morgenthaler
This unique format allows those with a heart for worship to compare different
perspectives and draw their own conclusions on what the Bible teaches. It
engages the reader’s faculties of critical thinking in a way that allows him or
her to understand the various approaches to worship, carefully evaluate their
strengths and weaknesses, and make personal choices without adopting a
judgmental spirit.
The Counterpoints series provides a forum for comparison and critique of
different views on issues important to Christians. Counterpoints books address
three categories: Church Life, Exploring Theology, and Engaging Culture.
