Theological Foundations of Worship: Biblical, Systematic, and Practical Perspectives 

Khalia J. Williams, Mark A. Lamport, Editors (Baker Academic)

This volume brings together an ecumenical team of scholars to present key theological concepts related to worship to help readers articulate their own theology of worship. Contributors explore the history of theology’s impact on worship practices across the Christian tradition, highlighting themes such as creation, pneumatology, sanctification, and mission. The book includes introductions by N. T. Wright and Nicholas Wolterstorff. A forthcoming volume will address the historical foundations of worship.
“Written by distinguished contributors representing a range of Christian traditions, this volume provides insightful perspectives on biblical, theological, and cultural dimensions of Christian worship. It will serve as an excellent central text for use in Christian worship courses.”
Monique M. Ingalls, Baylor University

“To have such a comprehensive resource on different theologies of worship from such a range of authors is like a dream come true.”
Lester Ruth, Duke Divinity School

Priests of Creation: John Zizioulas on Discerning an Ecological Ethos

John Chryssavgis, Nikolaos Asproulis, Editors

(T&T Clark)

Based on a constructive reading of Scripture, the apostolic and patristic traditions and deeply rooted in the sacramental experience and spiritual ethos of the Orthodox Church, John Zizioulas offers a timely anthropological and cosmological perspective of human beings as “priests of creation” in addressing the current ecological crisis.

Given the critical and urgent character of the global crisis and by adopting a clear line of argumentation, Zizioulas describes a vision based on a compassionate and incarnational conception of the human beings as liturgical beings, offering creation to God for the life of the world. He encourages the need for deeper interaction with modern science, from which theology stands to gain an appreciation of the interconnection of every aspect of materiality and life with humankind. The result is an articulate and promising vision that inspires a new ethos, or way of life, to overcome our alienation from the rest of creation.
