Preaching & Worship

“Dr. Sue Whittaker’s embedded case study explores a Turkish pastor’s journey to worship God out of his culturally and spiritually Turkish and Islamically shaped heart. Using various analytical tools, Whittaker validates Pastor Üçal’s efforts to remain sensitive to the culturally shaped needs of his congregation while developing a theologically sound, culturally appropriate liturgy through which his congregation is enabled to foster their relationship with God. A worthy addition to the growing number of such studies.”
