The Ancient-Future Visionary: Selected Shorter Writings by Dr. Robert E. Webber

By Robert E Webber

Are we too comfortable with traditional forms of worship? Are these forms truly historical, or are they man-made distortions of God's prescribed ecclesial order? Do our accepted methods work against the functioning of the local church in its mission to evangelize and disciple, rather than enhance it? Join the late Dr. Robert E. Webber in this compilation of previously published articles and uncollected addresses as he discusses with characteristic humor and candor the diverse aspects of ancient and contemporary worship practices, from the church in its infancy to the advent of the contemporary "megachurch" movement. As in his many books, including Worship is a Verb and Worship: Old & New, Webber explores the attitudes and liturgies through which we approach a loving God. Webber might infuriate or delight, or both, but he always stimulates.
