A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'An extremely valuable resource for any pastor, leader or worshipping heart.' --Matt Redman

'Robin Parry is a fine theologian who writes accessibly and engagingly. I hope that this second edition will be very widely read. It has the capacity to enable the renewal of the life and worship of the church.' --John Inge, Bishop of Worcester, UK

'This is a fine book; certainly, a fine book for the right people! Robin Parry's text is written for those whose ecclesial/liturgical traditions are found lacking in their presentation - if not understanding - of the Trinity. Written in an accessible conversational style, Parry is writing primarily to those in 'praise and worship' traditions, and at times turns directly to those who compose contemporary Christian music, and other times to those who lead worship using those songs. In some ways, this text functions as a mystagogical catechesis for those with little or no catechetical training. [...] [Parry] shows deftness in walking the line between ancient resources and contemporary practices, and at times between scripture and tradition. [...] This would be a provocative text for study, in part or whole, in Adult Education or a Worship Committee. But maybe its most important audience is the pastors who do not plan the whorship service in their church - and who know much or all of this content - but have never made the connection between their theology and worship choices. This may invoke some very helpful conversations in churches near and far.' --Todd E. Johnson, Pneuma 35 (2013), 1-62

'[Parry] argues that contemporary evangelical services should remember that the Trinity is at the center of worship. This is an interesting development. [...]Readers will do well to pay attention to his warnings and encouragements intended for those in the contemporary charismatic and broadly evangelical movements. [...] Parry s central point is to assert that this doctrine matters, and to show how and why it matters with special attention to public and private worship. Good Theology matters for good worship.' --Rev. J. Basinger, in Anglican Way, Vol 37, No 1

Présentation de l'éditeur

'If worship is God centered, and God is the Trinity, then worship should be Trinity centered.' 'Worshipping Trinity' explores the meaning and implications of that simple claim. Written for church leaders, worship leaders, and songwriters, as well as for those interested in theology, this volume explains why the Trinity matters so much and explores practical ways our worship can be made more Trinitarian. This second edition is fully updated and expanded. 'The book has become a classic - and rightly so. There is nothing else like it. It brings first-rate theology and astute practical wisdom to the very heart of the church's life. And the second edition is even better than the first!' Jeremy Begbie, Duke Divinity School. 'Robin Parry is a fine theologian who writes accessibly and engagingly. I hope that this second edition will be very widely read. It has the capacity to enable the renewal of the life and worship of the church.' John Inge, Bishop of Worcester. ' This is an extremely helpful book!' Matt Redman, songwriter and worship leader. 'Robin Parry has given us a terrific resource with which we can see a clearer picture of the God we worship.' Keith Getty, hymn writer.
