Transformation in Worship ultimately is the work of the Holy Spirit,
By
This review is from: Worship That Changes Lives: Multidisciplinary and Congregational Perspectives on Spiritual Transformation (Engaging Worship) (Paperback)
A colaboration between Fuller Theological Seminary and the Calvin Institute for Christian Worship eEdited by Alexis D. Abernathy, this book begins with two essays discussing the theology of worship. In the first, Clayton Schmit presents a study of Romans 12 which demonstrates that "worship involves yielding to God as well as a commitment to transformation and renewal" (18). In the second essay, John Witvliet addresses the cumulative power worship has to transform people's lives. Both writers emphasize the agency of the Holy Spirit in changing people as they worship God.
After a second section containing six different essays discussing the role of various arts in transformational worship, a third and final section of the book presents seven more essays, each analyzing from a slightly different perspective, just how people are in fact transformed by worship. In one chapter, for example, Charlotte vanOyen Witvliet explores the psychophysiological dimensions of worship. While transformational worship can be studied, throughout the book there is a strong thread of thought that maintains that transformation ultimately is the work of the Holy Spirit and as such is unpredictable and not subject to our control. |
