Overview

If you are looking for more knowledge and tools for teaching and leading worship in a converging spiritual world, then you will find what you are looking for here. The Complete Library of Christian Worship edited by Robert E. Webber is the most comprehensive worship resource available. These books present all aspects of Christian worship in their biblical origins, historical development, and contemporary use.

Dr. Robert E. Webber, the General Editor, states: "As a college professor, Christian educator, and lay person I have been challenged by the new dimensions being experienced in Christian worship. As a student of worship, I am deeply interested in its biblical origins, how it has changed with the times, and how it can achieve its greatest impact on the church and the world.

More than ten years of exhaustive research have gone into the development of a comprehensive resource for the worshiping church, The Complete Library of Christian Worship. It features materials from thousands of books and other resources on the subject of worship and original articles from over 600 scholars and church leaders, including representatives from every Christian denomination as well as many seminaries and institutions of higher learning.

The result is a beautiful collection that covers every aspect of Christian worship. It has been an exciting journey for me as I'm sure it will be for you."
