"This book is a kind of kaleidoscope, illuminating surprisingly
variegated forms of Christian worship through time and across
cultures. With contributions by some of the most accomplished
contemporary interpreters of world Christianity, Christian Worship
Worldwide frequently sparkles with a luminosity that delights even
as it enlightens." Karen Westerfield Tucker
-- Boston University
"Worship is the central action of the church, no matter the
location or sociocultural context. Yet many of the books written on
the subject of Christian worship and its related topics pay little
attention to praxis in the non-Western world. This collection of
essays, written by scholars from a variety of academic disciplines
and cultural experiences, helps to fill the gap in the literature
by offering theological reflections on worship, culture, and
globalization, and by acquainting the reader with representative
worship practices and expressions of faith found in Asia, the
Pacific, Latin America, and Africa. Pastors, seminarians, and
specialists in liturgy, cultural studies, missiology, and
evangelism -- or any person interested in understanding the
connection of Christian worship to a global body of Christ -- will
find great value in this resource."
