Rediscovering the Missing Jewel is a small-group course of study designed around thirteen easy-to-understand sessions. Part One, The Biblical foundations of Christian Worship, explores worship in two sessions—one for the Old Testament and one for the New. Part Two, Worship from the Time of the Early Church through the Nineteenth Century, consists of six sessions that trace important developments from Justin Martyr to the congregations of African-American slaves in North America. Along the way, sessions are devoted to Eastern Orthodox, medieval Catholic, Reformation, and Protestant free church worship. Part Three, Worship Renewal in the Twentieth Century, traces strands of Christian experience that directly influenced worship in many congregations today: Pentecostalism and the charismatic renewal, liturgical renewal stemming from Vatican II, the "praise and worship" movement, and a more recent approach that deliberately blends newer and older elements of the Christian worship tradition.
Book Description
We are living in a time when worship has become a distinct priority for the Christian community. For years the church has emphasized evangelism, teaching, fellowship, missions, and service while neglecting the very source of its power—worship. Recently, however, many churches are experiencing a Spirit-led renewal in their understanding and practice of the praise and worship of God.

Second Book of the Alleluia Series,
By DarrenGJohnson "DarrenGJohnson" (Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rediscovering the Missing Jewel: A Study in Worship through the Centuries (Paperback)
The Alleluia worship series is seven courses on the subject of worship. The seven courses are divided up thirteen short and easy to understand classes or chapters. At the end of each session are review and reflection questions that really help with the whole process of thinking through worship and what we are doing as the people of God.
Rediscovering the Missing Jewel is the second book in the series and its subtitle is a good description of what it is about, "A Study in Worship Through the Centuries." Like "Learning to Worship with All Your Heart" (which is the first book in this series), this book is divided up into 3 parts. The first part is titled "The Biblical Foundations of Christian Worship" and has two sessions that study our Hebrew roots and worship in the New Testament. The second part is much broader and since it covers worship from the time of the early church up through the nineteenth century. The final part is a study of worship and how it has developed in the 20th century. I think this is an easy to used study series for a pastor or teacher to take the church or a class through. It would be ideal for small group study and discussion.
