DESCRIPTION

Veteran theology teacher Dennis Okholm approaches the subject from the necessary intersection of theology and liturgy, showing that Christian belief and worship are inextricably related and that learning the church's doctrine apart from its worship undermines both.

Learning Theology through the Church's Worship flows as if the reader were participating in a service of worship. Although it uses examples from traditions that are more "liturgical," the spirit of the book is ecumenical. It features illustrative charts and figures that clarify challenging concepts and includes suggestions for assignments at the end of the book. This volume will benefit professors and students in introductory theology classes as well as pastors and church leaders.
