Christian worship in Reformed churches How can the church faithfully worship God in widely differing cultural contexts and in the midst of rapid change? Worship renewal is now on the agenda of many Reformed churches, as the need for adaptation and new approaches is acutely felt all over the world.

Written by theologians and liturgical scholars from a wide range of churches and countries, this volume in the series of Calvin Institute of Christian Worship Liturgical Studies provides some help. Successive chapters explore the history of Reformed worship on every continent from the sixteenth century to the present.

An important component of the book is "A Common Reflection on Christian Worship in Reformed Churches Today", the result of a major consultation in January 2001 at the John Knox International Reformed Centre.

Surveying the most significant developments in the growth of Reformed worship, the book identifies the major ingredients that make the Reformed worship tradition distinctive and highlights those aspects of Reformed worship that are particularly relevant to present efforts at renewal.

The book is edited by Lukas Vischer and published by Eerdmans: 444 pages, $45 paperback.
