SUMMARY:
These two volumes offer theological reflection, case studies, practical
tools, and audio visual resources to help the global church increase
its awareness of and appreciation for culturally appropriate arts in
Christian worship and witness. Readers will:
- Gain familiarity with key writers, terminology and concepts;
- Experience
an integrated approach to the topic from the interdisciplinary fields
of ethnomusicology, biblical research, worship studies, missiology and
the arts;
- Personally
engage themes presented through interactive materials, Q & A, small
group conversation starters, and real-life case studies;
- Be challenged to apply what they learn in practical ways to their lives and ministries.
Worship and Mission for the Global Church will be a three-part book, including foundations, stories, and tools. There will also be an accompanying DVD. Creating Local Arts Together leads
practitioners through a seven-step process to encourage kingdom growth
through local arts. The two volumes will be closely cross-referenced.
AUDIENCE:
College and seminary teachers and students, congregational leaders, and
international missionaries currently working or preparing for ministry
at the intersections of cultures.
