Worship and Eucharist [EPUB ebook] 
The Whole Christ, Head and Body

Worship is the fundamental form of Christian witness. It turns us away from the ideologies, cults, and gods of power that otherwise dominate our society and destroy lives. Since the church is the witness of God to the society to which it is sent, it worships out in the public square, where the world can watch and hear. In six themes of Gathering, Hearing, Singing, Praying, Eucharist, and Whole People of God, Worship and Eucharist tells how the Holy Spirit makes a rational and articulate people. We travel together as the body of Christ on a way of the cross through the world and often against its resistance.
The Eucharist is presented here in its true context of the ongoing priesthood of Christ with a dynamic understanding of our transformation and sanctification. What we say about our identity and our own bodies depends on our future redemption in the eternal life God intends for us.
Worship and Eucharist makes connections across the whole Christian faith with the breadth of a catechism, but the familiarity of a friend. Densely packed with biblical insight, this book will inspire Christian leaders and others interested in worship with a theology of Christian communal life and mission that is accessible yet challenging.
