<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Rooted in historical models and patristic church studies, <i>Ancient-Future Worship</i> examines how early Christian worship models can be applied to the postmodern church.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>With the many models of worship available, choosing a style to worship God can be a bit overwhelming. Is it better to go with traditional or contemporary models? Christians may find themselves asking how early believers worshiped and whether they can provide insight into how we should praise God today.<br/>Rooted in historical models and patristic church studies, <i>Ancient-Future Worship</i> examines how early Christian worship models can be applied to the postmodern church. Pastors and church leaders, as well as younger evangelical and emerging church groups, will find this last book in the respected Ancient-Future series an invaluable resource for authentic worship.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>God has a story. Worship does God's story.<br/><br/>There is a crisis of worship today. The problem goes beyond matters of style--it is a crisis of content and of form. Worship in churches today is too often dead and dry, or busy and self-involved. Robert Webber attributes these problems to a loss of vision of God and of God's narrative in past, present, and future history. As he examines worship practices of Old Testament Israel and the early church, Webber uncovers ancient principles and practices that can reinvigorate our worship today and into the future.<br/><br/>The final volume in Webber's acclaimed Ancient-Future series, <i>Ancient-Future Worship</i> is the culmination of a lifetime of study and reflection on Christian worship. Here is an urgent call to recover a vigorous, God-glorifying, transformative worship through the enactment and proclamation of God's glorious story. The road to the future, argues Webber, runs through the past.<br/><br/>Robert E. Webber (1933-2007) was, at the time of his death, Myers Professor of Ministry at Northern Seminary in Lombard, Illinois, and served as the president of the Institute for Worship Studies in Orange Park, Florida. His many books include <i>Ancient-Future Faith</i> and <i>The Younger Evangelicals</i>.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Robert E.
