Learning Theology through the Church's Worship

Theology

“Okholm pens this book with the admirable goal and heartfelt hope that it will enable the reader ‘to see how the church’s doctrine often arose out of worship and, conversely, how its worship reflects its doctrine.’ My kudos! Mission accomplished! As a biblical studies instructor, I appreciate the thorough and thoughtful interface of Scripture with careful and informed theological reflection. As a worship studies instructor, I welcome an approach that puts the history and practice of Christian liturgy in conversation with systematic theology. I especially commend Okholm’s pastoral concern and spiritual sensitivity in recognizing that prayer and the work of theology always belong together. Okholm offers a most helpful model for the integration of biblical theology, theology proper, and worship studies. I enthusiastically recommend the book for pastors, teachers, students—all Christian worshipers.”

Visions of the Lamb of God

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Andrew Brake is to be commended for this most readable and informative contribution to the exposition of Revelation. The reader will benefit from the author’s sensitivity to the pastoral heart of John the Apostle. The importance of the intertextuality of the OT and the NT for the interpretation of John’s visions is explored in detail. The emphasis on encouragement and perseverance is a timely message for the global church. The Christological focus on the visions of the Lamb will appropriately lead the reader to the worship of the Lamb.”
